T-Level Health

Our T-level in Health is suitable for students who wish to progress into the field of nursing. A T-Level is a new two-year qualification combining subject theory, technical learning and an ongoing work experience placement throughout the course to ensure that students have the skills to thrive in the field of nursing. T-Levels are equivalent to three A Levels and are recognised by all universities and providers of Higher Apprenticeships.

Students studding the T-Level in Health will learn through a combination of classroom study, practical and technical work in simulated health environments and work experience with Barts Health NHS Trust.
