When Fouzia Sultana received her exceptional A Level results from Bury College in 2021, she was unsure about what to do next. It was then when he discovered the HNC in Healthcare Practice.
Fouzia achieved the grades AAB Chemistry, Biology and Psychology and started to think where this could take her. The Healthcare Practice HNC seemed an appropriate next step and upon completion, she progressed onto to study Audiology at the University of Manchester where she is now thriving.
The former Bury Grammar High School pupil spoke about her time at the University Centre prepared her for that crucial next step: “This course didn’t just prepare me for university, but it also gave me an insight of all the different healthcare professionals there were which I was unaware of.

“They also prepared me for my interview for Audiology at the University of Manchester. The staff were amazing and supportive all the way throughout the course; they didn’t just support me with the university work but with my personal life. I would recommend anyone who is struggling to find a pathway into the healthcare industry to check this course out.”
Once Fouzia has completed her studies at the University of Manchester, she hopes to progress onto a career in either Audiology or Paediatrics.
Achieving this qualification will allow you to progress onto a degree course or springboard your career within a range of healthcare professions. Click here for more information on our Healthcare Practice HTQ HNC
