Our students go on to study a variety of health profession courses at a wide range of universities, for example:
I was working in North London for a private ambulance company doing hospital transfers, I began my Access course to enable me to study paramedic science at university. I initially failed the interview stage at university, but instead was employed and went through my training in house. This included one year at Anglia Ruskin, where I had to repeat the interview process and was accepted. Here, I was able to use the skills I learnt during the Access course, it took a lot of pressure off of me and gave me a head-start at university.
I would recommend studying at USP College, all lessons were taught to a very good standard and even if you struggled, you got the support you needed to improve. It was also a very nice environment, surrounded by helpful people and I never once felt out of my depth.

I chose to do an Access course, as although I had the required GCSE's for university, I did not have good enough A-Levels. I also wanted to use it as a stepping stone to university as it had been a long time since I last studied.
I chose USP from personal recommendations and due to it being local to me and the hours working around school runs etc.
The Access course has allowed me to brush up on skills that I have not used for years, essay writing and research for example. It has also taught me brand new skills, such as Harvard referencing and allowed me to work on my time management skills too.
I have gained a conditional offer to study Midwifery this September at Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford.
