To achieve the Access to HE Diploma (Midwifery) learners must achieve:

• 45 credits which must be graded, academic subject content at Level 3 only,
• 15 credits which must be either at Level 2 or Level 3 ungraded.

As part of our approval process with the awarding organisation (AIM Qualifications and Assessment Group), the rules of combination for each diploma have been checked and agreed. This is to ensure that the units that appear in your programme provide you with the correct combination of graded and ungraded units and enable you to achieve the 60 credits required for the full diploma.

Ungraded units

The focus of these units is to develop the study skills you are going to need to help you to complete your Access programme, as well as skills that you need to develop in preparation for study at university. These are completed predominantly at the beginning of your programme. There are no grades applied to these units – you will therefore either Pass or Refer.

Some of the ungraded units included in your Diploma are subject related to enable you to develop your academic writing skills before you progress to the graded units.

Graded units

These are subject-specific units and each will attract either 3 or 6 credits. On the first page of the study materials for these units, it will state that the unit is graded and how many credits it is worth. These units are graded as either Pass, Merit or Distinction. You will therefore be able to see what you need to do in order to achieve a Merit or Distinction grade. Should your preferred university require you to achieve a certain number of credits at Merit or Distinction, it is these units where you need to focus your attention on achieving the higher grades required.

The Access to Higher Education Diploma (Midwifery) is equivalent to three A Levels. Most universities accept this qualification in applications, so you could potentially study a degree at the university of your choice, should you meet the entry requirements.

If you have ambitions to become a Midwife, then the Access to Higher Education Diploma (Midwifery) could provide a stepping stone towards achieving your career goal. Prior to starting your midwifery programme, you may want to gain foundation knowledge in a similar field, such as health science. If you go on to gain a midwifery degree, you will be qualified to work as a Midwife.

During your midwifery career, if you decide that a less medical role would be better suited to you, having a midwifery degree can help you land a role as a doula or birthing partner. You may also be open to considering a position as a health visitor.
