"furtherInformation": "The Foundation course is aimed at individuals who may have few or no relevant formal qualifications but who can demonstrate a clear commitment to pursuing a career within their chosen profession. Personal, professional and educational experiences will be considered to determine motivation and ability to progress onto the degree course. It is important that you clearly state in your personal statement which pathway you would like to be considered for. \n\nUWE Bristol makes contextualised offers for our main degrees as well as Foundation courses, so please check which level of entry is right for you. \n\nPlease note, this course is not available to International applicants. If you are interested in a Foundation programme to join our degrees in this subject area you can apply through our International College.\n\nAdditional requirements\n\nAll applicants are required to complete:\n\nDisclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check*\n\nOccupational Health Checks*\n\n*All information will be treated in confidence and only taken into account when absolutely necessary.\n\nAbout your Occupational Health Checks\n\nOffers of places are subject to Occupational Health Clearance and students are expected to disclose pre-existing and historical health conditions. You must be in good health and up-to-date with all routine immunisations that are required for working in health and social care settings. \n\nIf you're offered a place on this course, you'll be required to complete a questionnaire and must be prepared to undergo a medical examination. You'll also be required to confirm your status in respect of a number of infectious diseases (tuberculosis, measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, varicella, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV antibodies) and be prepared to have all required vaccinations. \n\nPlease note that the list of required vaccinations may change, in response to advice from the Department of Health. If your vaccinations are not up-to-date, this will affect your ability to continue on your course. If you have any concerns with regards to vaccinations please raise this at the point of application.\n\nSelection process\n\nApplications will be reviewed and those demonstrating an understanding of, and commitment to a career in their chosen field will be shortlisted for an online interview via Microsoft Teams.\n\nPersonal statements for applicants shortlisted for interview will: \n\nIdentify the specific pathway they wish to follow\n\nShow they have an insight into the professions they're applying for.\n\nWatch our video for top tips on writing a healthcare personal statement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yUnYcmTagY and download our health and social care personal statement guide: https://www2.uwe.ac.uk/services/Marketing/what-can-i-study/pdf/Writing-a-health-social-care-personal-statement.pdf\n\nParamedic Science, Physiotherapy and Diagnostic Radiotherapy pathways will be using a staged admissions process known as a 'gathered field' approach. 'Gathered field' here means grouping applications together and is used when the candidate quality and the level of interest in the course exceeds the number of interview places available. \n\nIf you haven't received a decision after your interview this means that the University is still considering your application. We appreciate your patience during this time and would like to remind you that if you applied through UCAS and have received offers from any other Universities, you will not lose these offers before your UCAS Reply Deadline.\n\nDeferred entry\n\nWe don't accept deferred entry applications for this course.\n\nRead more about entry requirements: https://www.uwe.ac.uk/courses/applying/undergraduate-applications/entry-requirements.",
