Level 5+6 Diploma Bundle in Health and Social Care
The Level 5+6 Diploma Bundle in Health and Social Care is an Ofqual-regulated qualification delivered fully online by UK School of Management (UKSM, UKPRN 10101873). The bundle sits on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) at Levels 5 and 6. A single enrolment covers both diploma stages; students complete Level 5 before progressing to Level 6 without re-enrolling. Standard duration is 15 months; fast-track is available in 10 months.
2 levels (L5+6) · Health and Social Care · From GBP 1,500
The Level 5 and 6 Health and Social Care Diploma Bundle is for experienced professionals moving from operational management into senior leadership. Level 5 represents the operational management tier; Level 6 sits at the same RQF point as an undergraduate degree and is where senior manager and head-of-function roles are formally positioned. This bundle is for people who are ready to credential that transition.
About this Health and Social Care combined pathway
Package pricing is set by how many levels you combine (2 levels), not by adding the list prices of each diploma. That keeps the pathway clear for working adults who want structured progression without restarting admissions at every level.

Who this package is for
This bundle is for senior managers and heads of function in Health and Social Care who want a qualification at the level their role demands. It suits professionals who have a Level 4 or 5 qualification and are moving into director or head-of-service territory, those who are already operating at senior level without a formal credential at that level, and experienced practitioners who want a Level 6 — the undergraduate equivalent — as a basis for postgraduate study or executive programmes.
How the combined pathway works
After enrolment you study the included qualifications in level order. Each stage builds on the previous one: you complete the learning and assessment for Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care before moving on through the remaining levels in this package, finishing with Level 6 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management.
Why combine Level 5+6 in Health and Social Care?
Combining these levels under one enrolment means one application, one fee band, and a published duration for fast-track or standard mode. You still earn the named diploma outcomes for each included level in the pathway, while planning your study time and budget against a single UKSM Diploma Bundle rather than 2 separate checkouts.
Study online while you work
Delivery is fully online through UKSM, with assignment-based assessment and tutor support designed for people who work alongside study. Fast-track shortens calendar time; standard mode spreads the same programme over a longer window — both use the fixed 2-level package fee published on this page.
