Why this course?

This innovative degree is a joint venture between the University of Strathclyde and three further education colleges - West College Scotland, Glasgow Clyde College and New College Lanarkshire.

The degree aims to prepare you for working in settings which combine health education and social work/social care. You’ll enter college at a Diploma of Higher Education level, having first studied a relevant HNC. You’ll then go on to Year 3 at Strathclyde to study for the BA.

The Education & Social Services (BA) responds to the Scottish Government’s aspiration for different services to communicate more effectively and to work in a more integrated way to meet the service-user needs of children, young people and adults. A major aim of the degree is to develop the leadership qualities and skills required for this challenge.

Course content

The broad aims of the course are to:

  • advance the level of understanding, knowledge and proficiency of those who will work with children, young people and adults within education and social services
  • develop professional attitudes, leadership and management skills, allowing graduates to contribute confidently to evidence based practice, informed by a value base of rights and respect for service users within integrated services.
