can pursue with a health and social care degree 1?

No. A Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is not a degree. It is a vocational qualification regulated by Ofqual and awarded by OTHM. It sits at Level 5 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework, equivalent to the second year of a bachelor’s degree, but it does not confer degree status. You cannot "pursue a degree" with this diploma alone; rather, it provides the academic credits required to progress. Graduates typically use the 120 credits to enter the final year (Level 6) of a bachelor’s degree in health and social care or related fields at partner universities. This is a standard progression route, not a degree award itself.
