4 WHAT KIND OF COURSE CAN I TAKE? At East Riding College, you can work towards a number of different types of higher education qualification. Some are part-time courses, some are full-time and some can be either. The qualifications outlined in this course guide fall into the types of qualification below. ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION This is a level three course to prepare people to take the step up to higher education. This will be of particular interest to adults who are returning to education after a break and who may not currently meet the academic entry criteria for higher education programmes. HIGHER NATIONAL CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS These are work-related higher education courses which have more of a practical emphasis. The certificate is at level four and roughly the equivalent to the first year of a degree and the diploma is at level five and similar to the first two years of a degree. FOUNDATION DEGREES These are similar to degrees but involve more practical work and work experience. Foundation degree students often study subjects closely related to their current job, or one that they want to progress to. TOP-UP DEGREES As the name suggests, this course allows you to top up your foundation degree or higher national diploma to a full degree. They are the equivalent to the last year of a degree. DEGREES The best-known and most common higher education qualification. Honours degrees include the awarding of classifications of honours such as first, upper and lower second and third class. MASTERS A Masters degree is the most common post-graduate qualification which you can take after you have completed an honours degree or equivalent. It shows a high level of expertise in the studied field, and usually involves writing a thesis. TEACHER TRAINING These popular courses provide higher education qualification routes which will enable you to apply for QTLS (qualified teacher learning and skills) status. We run courses for people who are already teaching and those who are not, and for people with and without degrees. We work like a teacher training college and excel in turning industry specialists into teachers. Unlike other providers, we can arrange work placements and provide mentor support. 4

5 FURTHER EDUCATION AT LEVEL FOUR AND ABOVE Some courses in this guide are higher level (level four and above), but are not funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England and are therefore categorised as further education. These include very specialised professional qualifications like AAT courses. WHO DO WE WORK WITH? Higher education at East Riding College is built on partnerships with respected awarding organisations including the University of Hull, the University of Huddersfield and Pearson - so you can be assured your course meets the highest standards and your degree is awarded by a leading institution. The awarding organisation for each course is indicated by the relevant symbol next the the course title. D F Q HOW TO APPLY Application methods vary according to the course you are taking.

14 ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION The aim of an access course is to enable mature learners to gain entry to higher education. Our Access to Higher Education Diploma course is an entry qualification to a range of undergraduate programmes and degrees at local and national universities. The course has several pathways you can take, depending on the subject you plan to study at degree level, or the area of interest that you have in terms of your career. Each pathway prepares you for universitylevel study, covering key skills such as academic writing, research skills and referencing as well as exploring relevant units to the subject area. The course is fast paced and will normally be timetabled for approximately 15 hours per week, for the full academic year. Access students acquire the skills - and the confidence - to move successfully onto higher level study. Wendy Smith Class of 2017 Access to Health Science Wendy won student of the year and her tutors commended her on her evaluation of ideas, research skills and ability to make complex links in theory. I ve discovered my passion for psychology. I originally wanted to go into biomedical science but fell in love with psychology after the very first lesson. I was hooked - it was a light bulb moment. I would recommend returning to study to anyone. 14

Philip Murthwaite Class of 2016 Foundation Degree in Computing I was working as an IT Lab Technician at East Riding College when I decided to study the Foundation Degree in Computing to develop my skills. I chose the College because of its location and because I was already familiar with the organisation and the tutors, having worked in the IT Lab! I already knew Phil Earls the course tutor and was delighted to study with him as my tutor. He was very supportive. It was great to learn from other learners in the class too - and the facilities are excellent. I now work as an onsite IT Technician at a university." 28

Prepare yourself for future leadership roles and develop the transferable skills organisations want to stay successful, whether in the corporate world or public/third sector. Most management degrees have a practical approach, and ours are no exception. Our foundation degrees were developed with the help of employers to make sure that graduates leave us with skills that make them extremely employable. Our Foundation Degree in Public Service Management is designed for those wishing to move into management roles or graduate programmes within the public sector. Our Foundation Degree in Leisure Management is designed for those who want to work within the sector - including public and private sector initiatives - who want to move into management roles within the leisure industry including leisure, resort and venue management. Tracy Westgarth Class of 2017 ILM Level Five NVQ Diploma in Management and Leadership The prospect of the extra study was daunting at first. I was concerned about being able to complete the course on top of my full time job as Regional Manager with Parkinson s UK. Once I met my tutor my fears were allayed, the evidence required all related to my role and experience. I used my sessions to set targets and completed the course ahead of the allowed time. Since then I haven t looked back, I am now Area Development Manager. The course gave me the tools to analyse my work practise and was really helpful when our charity was going through a period of strategic change. The new found skills I had learnt helped me lead my team through that. The ILM Level 5 will stand me in good stead for my future career. It is a recognised qualification that affirms all of your experience. I saw it as an investment in my future. 30

34 SOCIAL SCIENCE Social Science is the scientific study of human interaction, society, culture and change. Scientific disciplines such as psychology, sociology and criminology are used to examine social identity, social control, globalisation and crime prevention. Social scientists go on to work in areas such as social and community services, human resources, education and the police, and help make the world safer and healthier. The work of social scientists influences our everyday lives and the future of our society, from crime to public health, education or economics. Bernie Hilton 2nd Year Student BA (Hons) Social Science The degree course has been really good so far, I love that we can study at Bridlington, rather than have to travel. The College has been fabulous, I couldn t imagine studying anywhere else. Having the route all the way from level two through to access and degree level is excellent. I ve had all the help I could have wished for, I ve felt very supported. It has changed my life and I would recommend it to mature students in particular. 34

Our degree programme gives you a good grounding in a wide spectrum of disciplines within sport, covering anatomy, psychology, coaching and injury treatment as well as sports massage and nutrition. Successful students have progressed to a range of further study and careers.

Alex Davies I m pleased with my result after all the hard work. I took up the foundation degree initially, to improve my career prospects, but I feel like I ve learned so much more along the way. Callum Ewing I d recommend the route we took to anyone who thinks they may have left it too late to do a degree. We managed to work, study and get the best result possible. I don t know whether I could have done that at 18! 36

There is a full range of courses to choose from, with routes to qualified teacher learning and skills status (QTLS). Teacher training courses are taught through a mixture of workshops, micro teaching sessions, taught lessons, lectures and independent learning. All of the courses are focussed on practical teaching and where applicable, the College will help you organise a suitable work placement. Sean O Callaghan Class of 2017 Pre-Service Professional Graduate Certificate in Education East Riding College was very welcoming. My tutors made me feel wanted and at ease. They understood that I was away from home and didn t know much about the area and they helped me get a placement. The course has improved my teaching practice and built my confidence as a teacher. I would recommend the College to anyone considering a PGCE, as there is always help at hand. I can safely say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. 38

39 As well as job satisfaction from inspiring others and passing on your skills and expertise, teaching offers great employment prospects, competitive salaries and job security. 95% of newly qualified teachers were employed in a teaching role within six months of completing training.
