T Level Health
Prepares students for a career in healthcare.
Our students learn in Middlesex University’s state-of-the-art rooms at Saracens’ StoneX stadium.
The intent of T Level Health, is to enable all students to have a rounded technical, professional and academic learning experience in relation to healthcare. Through the study of T Level Health, students will be equipped with the relevant skills and knowledge to advance in a plethora of health-related career paths through pursuing a higher education qualification or higher-level apprenticeship.
The curriculum is implemented through a range of in class and work based teaching and learning strategies to inspire, stretch and assess learners’ progress. A detailed scheme of learning for each core element outlines daily, weekly and yearly goals in addition to relevant teaching and learning strategies. Recommended textbook and other relevant resources are available for students to access to support with preparation for external assessments and work-based learning.
