“As a chartered geographer, I am passionate about exploring and introducing new ideas, concepts and viewpoints into the student learning experience. I bring my research into my teaching, and I’ve developed different kinds of resources, such as bespoke video podcasts about exotic ecosystems, filmed in Australia, the Caribbean, French Guyana and Brazil. It brings what I’m teaching to life and hopefully makes my courses more interesting.”

THINK outside the box

Shortly after graduating from UWE Bristol with a sociology degree, Ben set up a snack box subscription scheme Graze with six friends. Tired of convenience snacking and unhealthy impulse buys, the friends saw a gap in the market for healthy, wholesome snacks which were fun to eat.

Now a household name, Graze employs more then 400 staff, has a turnover of £70 million and has won a host of awards.

The business manages everything from product development to retail.

“Studying sociology widened my horizons and gave me the analytical skills to start a project and take it all the way. My tutors always encouraged us to think outside the box and to find out what we’re really good at. That’s exactly what I did.”

TAKE

your learning to a new level

During her course, Rosalind worked as part of the Space Medicine Office Team on a prestigious three-month internship at the European Space Agency in Cologne, Germany.

Her main project was evaluating an electrical muscle stimulation device that was being tested at the Astronaut Centre to see if it could be used as part of the astronaut fitness and rehabilitation programme.

“My background is in sports, but I realised I wanted to go into a medical environment. It’s been really exciting to be involved in this work and I’ve even managed to chat to a few astronauts about their experiences in space. I still can’t believe I was there.”

BELIEVE in yourself

After doing her English degree at UWE Bristol, Alaana went straight into a graduate training programme at Rombourne Business Centres.

After two years at a healthcare marketing and business development agency, she was offered the job as International Director for BMI Healthcare, a leading UK provider of independent healthcare.

She set up her own international development department there, which is now turning over almost £10 million.

“My choice of degree has helped me form and articulate strong arguments, analyse behaviours and think laterally.

My time at UWE Bristol gave me confidence and strength of character to understand what I am capable of achieving. The key is finding something you love, which inspires you and makes you want to get out of bed in the morning. Believe in yourself and your ability and other people will believe in you too.”

Our ‘Pee Power’ initiative is attracting global attention. Working with Oxfam and others, scientists at UWE Bristol have investigated power generation using urine in the hope that ‘urine-tricity’ will provide much-needed power to refugee camps and disaster zones. Our ‘Pee Power’ urinals are now being used to provide electricity at the Glastonbury Festival.

Living with robots The team at our internationally-renowned Bristol Robotics Lab has been looking at how robots and smart sensors can help older people stay independent for longer.

Imagine if an elderly person could interact easily with a talking robot who could keep an eye on their health and nutrition, tell them who was at the door and detect when they needed exercise. That’s just one of the many robotics projects we’ve been working on recently.

How to apply

143

Entry requirements You will see the entry requirements at the top of each course listing. We keep our entry requirements as straightforward as possible – and we explain below the different ways you can gain a place on the course of your choice.

UCAS tariff points

English Language and Maths

Access courses

We make our offers using UCAS tariff points.

We accept points from all qualifications in the UCAS tariff (with the exception of Level 2 Key Skills and Level 2 Functional Skills).

We require an English Language qualification for all courses: we accept GCSE English Language grade C or IELTS 6.0 (International English Language Test) with no less than 5.5 in any one element.

An Access to Higher Education Diploma is often the best route for adults without the academic qualifications normally required, but whose life and work experience has given them a strong motivation to go to university.

This means you can include points from a variety of qualifications, including (but not limited to): A and AS Levels in General Studies and Critical Thinking; extra AS Levels you did not take to A2; Music and Drama; Welsh Bacc Core; CoPE (Certificate of Professional Effectiveness).

On page 146 you will see some, but not all, qualifications in the UCAS tariff. Please see the UCAS website for the complete list.

International qualifications We accept a wide range of international qualifications, including: Baccalauréat (France); Abitur (Germany); Matura (Poland); Apolytirion (Greece); STPM (Malaysia); Tot Nghiep Pho Thong Trung Hoc (Vietnam).

You will find full details on our website.

Required subjects For some courses, we specify subjects and grades you must achieve. There are two reasons for this: usually it is because you need to have reached a certain standard in a subject in order to succeed on the degree course. For some courses, such as teaching and nursing, these subjects and grades are required by professional bodies, or the Government.

Subjects may be required at GCSE, or at A Level, Extended Diploma, IB, or equivalent.

It is really important you check you will have the required subjects for your course and contact us (or enquire at an Open Day) if you are unsure.

144

Note: we require IELTS 7.0 for Health and Social Care courses. The minimum for each element varies for different courses. For details, please see the website page for the course you’re interested in.

GCSE Maths and/or Science grade C is required for many of our courses. Please note: the following qualifications are not sufficient alternatives to GCSE Maths and English Language at grade C or above: Level 2 Key Skills in Communication and Application of Number; Level 2 Certificates in Adult Numeracy and Literacy; and Level 2 Functional Skills in Maths and English.

Although these Level 2 qualifications are at the same level as GCSE Grades A–C within the Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF), they do not cover the full breadth of knowledge demanded by GCSEs. Therefore Key Skills and Certificates in Adult Numeracy or Literacy must be Level 3, or above, for us to accept them as alternatives to GCSEs grade C and above.

We are happy to consider for all our courses students who are taking or have passed a QAA-recognised Access to Higher Education Diploma, or Adult Learners Credit Framework Progression to Higher Education Certificate.

For courses which have ‘required subjects’, you normally have to include these subjects within your Access course, so please contact us for advice. We usually require particular grades.

As an alternative to an Access course we offer a number of courses which include a foundation level entry year for those who need an additional year to gain the required subject knowledge to complete the chosen degree. The best way to explore these is to come to an Open Day, or you can contact us for advice.

Heading Higher Passport (HHP) Plus HHP Plus is a widening participation scheme bringing together Enrichment Programmes taught in local schools and colleges in partnership with UWE Bristol.

We provide a range of experiences and activities, which have the potential to raise aspirations and increase awareness of the opportunities available in Higher Education, to support learners in decisions about their future. To find out more visit: www.uwe.ac.uk/schoolsandcolleges

Interviews, auditions and portfolio reviews For some courses, we may ask you to attend a selection event such as an interview, audition or portfolio review as part of the admissions process. The individual course listings will tell you if this happens for your course.

Typically: • Creative industries – applicants bring examples of their creative work (their ‘portfolio’) which they discuss with course tutors • Drama and acting – applicants come for an audition and discussion with course tutors • Initial teacher training and health and social care – applicants attend an interview with course tutors.

Initial Teacher Education (ITE) courses In addition to meeting the entry requirements stated in the course entry you must: • Satisfy the Department of Education about your suitability for the teaching profession and your ability to undertake a course of training. For further information please see the webpage for the course you’re interested in • Provide a satisfactory Declaration of Health and a further declaration on criminal convictions (Disclosure and Barring Service clearance) before taking up the place

Health and social care courses

Minimum entry requirements

In addition to meeting the academic entry requirements stated in the course entry you must:

For an Honours degree course you normally need two A Levels or the equivalent, such as a BTEC Diploma or Extended Diploma; IB (International Baccalaureate); or Access to Higher Education Diploma. For foundation degree courses, you normally need one A Level, or equivalent. Many other qualifications meet our minimum entry requirements, please see our website for details.

• Demonstrate your suitability and ability to study the course. For further information please see the webpage for the course you’re interested in • Provide a satisfactory Declaration of Health and a further declaration on criminal convictions (Disclosure and Barring Service clearance) before taking up the place • Some courses ask you to show competency in the use of English Language and Maths. You will undertake literacy and numeracy tests when you attend an interview.

Students with experience – but not the usual entry requirements

Students who achieve the UCAS tariff points required (and have passed an English Language qualification) almost always have gained qualifications which meet our minimum entry requirements. However, if you have only taken a number of other qualifications (such as AS Levels or Music and Drama qualifications) you should contact us for advice.

See our website www.uwe.ac.uk/ugapply

We can sometimes accept students onto a course who do not have the usual entry requirements, but who have substantial experience (usually a period of years) in a field closely related to the course. We need to be sure such students are adequately prepared for the academic methods of teaching and assessment they will encounter on the course and we will often recommend they take an Access course or degree with foundation level entry (see page 144).

• Show competence in the use of English Language and Maths – you must pass the Professional Skills Test in literacy and numeracy before starting the course.

For further information please visit the Department of Education website.

Fees and funding Financing your studies can be a bit of a juggling act. UWE Bristol can help and advise you, whether you’re a UK student, EU, international, full-time, part-time, or any combination.

These pages offer an overview of fees, other costs and financial help available at the time of going to print. You must check our website for the latest information.

How much are the tuition fees?

Full-time study At the time of going to press on this prospectus, the tuition fees for 2017 have not been set. Our fees in 2016/17 are £9,000 a year for UK and EU undergraduates and £11,250 for international undergraduates.

Annual fees for UK and EU undergraduates studying foundation degrees at one of UWE Bristol’s local study partners are £7,500 in 2016/17.

Part-time study Tuition fees for part-time study are up to the pro-rata amount of the full-time equivalent.

Please note, international students are not normally able to study part-time, due to the immigration restrictions of the Tier 4 student visa. It is likely 2017/18 fees will rise, but please see our website for updated information on all fees www.uwe.ac.uk/money.

Don’t let fees get in the way of you fulfilling your potential. Check out pages 150–151 for information about funding your tuition fees.

Living costs If you are living away from home while you study, you will need to cover costs such as accommodation, travel, bills and food.

We calculate average living costs for a single student living in a shared house as between £8,000–£12,000 (£200–£290/week). This does not include tuition fees. These costs are based on a 40-week academic year.

What financial support is there for me?

There are many sources of funding, but for UK and EU students, most fall mainly into two categories: help from UWE Bristol and help from the Government. Some are repayable, some are not. It is important to check your entitlement before you start your studies, especially if you have previously studied at university.

Indicative additional costs

Financial help from UWE Bristol

The additional costs listed in the online course entries are those students could reasonably expect to incur during their studies and are for items not covered by the standard tuition fee. These could be materials, text books, travel, clothing, software, or printing.

We aim to help make sure everyone with potential has the opportunity to study with us, regardless of social or financial background. UWE Bristol provides over £3.5 million to students each year through bursaries and hardship funds.

Fees and funding

149

Bursaries (non-repayable) We have a generous bursary scheme, which puts money in your pocket when you need it most – during your studies. The Bursary Scheme for 2017/18 entrants has not yet been finalised. Other non-repayable bursaries (such as music and sports scholarships) are available. For example, if you’re an elite sports person, you could qualify for a full bursary and additional support package.

University scholarships and grants (non-repayable) There are some bursaries and scholarships available from individual departments.

Learner Support Fund (non-repayable) UWE Bristol provides a large fund for UK students who find themselves in financial difficulty while studying. Awards are generally between £100 and £1,000. In exceptional cases students may receive significantly more. We give priority to students who are unable to work part-time due to a disability or caring responsibilities.

International scholarships (non-repayable) Each year we offer a variety of international and country-specific scholarships for international students. The majority are partial tuition fee waivers, where payment is made against your tuition fee and reduces the amount you are required to pay.

Short-term loans (repayable) UWE Bristol can provide small, interest-free loans to students in temporary financial difficulties (if, for instance, payment of your funding is delayed at the start of the year).

For further details on UWE Bristol funding, please visit www.uwe.ac.uk/money.

Financial help from Government – tuition fees (UK and EU students only) Tuition fee loan (repayable) You can apply for a fee loan to cover your annual tuition fees. The funding for tuition fees for nursing, midwifery and healthcare courses came under review during Autumn 2015 in the Comprehensive Spending Review. The position is these courses will be funded from the Student Loan Company.

This means prospective students apply to Student Finance in the same manner as other UK and EU students. If you have questions or need further information about funding options for these courses, please contact us at admissions@uwe.ac.uk.

Financial help from Government – living costs (UK students only) Student Finance Living Cost loan (repayable) This is available to full-time English-resident students from Student Finance England (SFE). If you are from Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales, you can apply for funding from Student Awards Agency for Scotland, Student Finance Northern Ireland and Student Finance Wales. The loan is paid into your bank account at the start of each term.

See below for terms and conditions of the fee and living cost loans.

Help for students with children (non-repayable) There is additional support for UK students with dependants, including help with childcare. This additional support is incomeassessed.

Social work bursaries If you are registered on a social work course, English-resident students may be eligible for a bursary in the second and third years of study, alongside the standard student funding.

150

State benefits (non-repayable) UK students studying part-time, or full time students who are disabled or who have dependants may be eligible to receive benefits while studying.

Trusts and charities (non-repayable) There are a large number of organisations who may provide additional financial support to students, but demand for these funds can be very high. There is useful information at www.gov.uk.

Terms and conditions of the fee and living cost loans Government lends you the money for your fees and (UK students only) for your living costs. Once you graduate, you start to pay it back when you’re earning at least £21,000 per year. At this point, 9% of your earnings above £21,000 per year will be deducted from your salary by your employer.

* Based on 2015/16 Income Tax and National Insurance rates

If you never earn above the threshold, you will never repay the loan. 30 years after graduation any remaining debt is cancelled.

Repayments are based on what you earn, not on what you owe. So whether your course costs £7,500 per year or £9,000 per year, you’ll repay the same each month.

Disclaimer UWE Bristol has made every effort to make this prospectus as accurate as possible at the time of going to press. However, it should be noted the prospectus is printed two years in advance. The University continually enhances our offer by responding to feedback from our students and other stakeholders, ensuring the curriculum is kept up-to-date and our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need for the real world. This may result in changes to our programmes following publication. The most up-to-date version of a programme will be found on our website.

There may be instances whereby we have to withdraw or combine programmes due to limited demand as this will have a negative impact on the student experience. When this is the case, we will advise you at the earliest opportunity before the start of the programme and endeavour to provide a suitable alternative.

Essential information

Glossary Some of the expressions used in the prospectus may be unfamiliar to you. This glossary gives a brief definition of each term.

Access course

BEng

Day release

This is a course of study, usually one year full-time, run at local colleges of further education as a preparation for entry into Higher Education. Access courses are designed for adults returning to study who may have left education without standard qualifications.

Bachelor of Engineering; the name given to an undergraduate degree in Engineering.

Day release attendance involves full-time attendance one day a week during term-time.

Accredited Learning (AL) Accredited Experiential Learning (AEL) These schemes allow you to gain credit for successful previous study (AL), or for knowledge and skills gained in the workplace or elsewhere (AEL) provided the subject is valid for your course of study.

Such credit may be counted towards the credit total needed for the Higher Education programme for which you register. Please contact us if you think you are eligible for AL/AEL.

Alumni Alumni are former students of the University.

Award Within UWE Bristol, you may come across a course being referred to as an award. Strictly speaking, the award (ie a degree) is the qualification you get at the end of your course. Sometimes, courses are also called programmes.

BA Bachelor of Arts; the name given to an undergraduate degree in an arts, or arts-related, subject (eg business management).

152

BSc Bachelor of Science; the name given to an undergraduate degree in a technical, or science-related, subject.

Block release Block release attendance involves occasional full-time attendance for days, or weeks, during a programme of study.

CAS Certificate of Acceptance to Study, needed by international students when applying for a visa.

CertHE A Certificate of Higher Education is a course which may be gained on successful completion of 120 credits of an undergraduate degree, whether studied full-time or part-time.

Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) All UWE Bristol’s courses are credit-rated, and the credit values correspond with the national CATS scheme. This means students may be able to carry over credits from previous successful study within UWE Bristol if they wish to resume their studies at a later date, or transfer their credits to, or from, another institution. The notional study time to gain 10 credits is normally 100 hours.

Degrees with Foundation Year Entry The University offers a range of degrees which include a foundation year (year 0) for students who need an additional year to gain the required subject knowledge to complete their degree.

DipHE A Diploma of Higher Education (240 credits) is a qualification which may be gained on successful completion of the first two years (or equivalent) of an undergraduate degree, studied full-time.

European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS) A credit scheme which allows you to carry credits between a recognised institution outside the UK (if you are, for instance, doing an exchange) and the University.

First degree This is another name for an undergraduate degree.

Foundation degree (FdA, FdSc or FdEng) A foundation degree is an intermediate work-related course (240 credits) developed in conjunction with employers. The abbreviation FdSc is used for a technical, or science-based award, FdEng for an engineering-based course and FdA for an arts-based award.

HNC

Level

Placement

A Higher National Certificate is a course created by the Business and Technician Education Council (BTEC, now part of Edexcel), usually obtained by part-time day and/or evening attendance. An HNC is normally considered equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree studied full-time.

See Module.

Sandwich A period away from the University involving a work experience, which is a requirement for a sandwich award.

Tutorial

Honours/Hons

Modular programme

A small group session, usually led by staff.

An Honours (Hons) degree requires a higher level of student attainment and number of credits (360) than a degree without honours (300 credits). Honours degrees are graded in four classes: First (1), Upper Second (2:1), Lower Second (2:2), and Third (3). A degree without honours is called an Unclassified, or Ordinary degree.

All our undergraduate and most of our postgraduate courses are modular, which means the course is divided into modules.

Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS)

Module

UCAS is responsible for processing applications to full-time and sandwich undergraduate courses.

Interim award This is a certificate (Certificate of Higher Education 120 credits) or diploma (Diploma of Higher Education 240 credits) which you may be awarded if you are unable to complete the course for which you originally registered.

Intermitting Intermitting is an interruption to your study.

If you are unable to continue studying, you may ask permission to intermit and resume your studies at a later date. You do not lose any credit already gained.

A module is a unit of study requiring a certain amount of notional study time.

Modules conform to one of the following levels: Level 0 = foundation Level 1 = first year of an undergraduate degree (full-time) Level 2 = second year of an undergraduate degree (full-time) Level 3 = final year of an undergraduate degree (full-time) Level M = postgraduate The credit value of a module depends on the amount of study time and the assessment load. Modules are worth between 10 credits (100 hours of notional study time) and 60 credits (600 hours).
