Course summary

Introduction:

Our exciting Health and Social Care degree offers you the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of health and social care that includes a range of issues about living in communities and society. During the course you will be able to tailor your learning by specialising in key areas of health and social care, and boost your career prospects by undertaking work-based learning.

What you’ll study

Health and social care is centrally concerned with wellbeing, or the state of being or doing well in life; with being happy and healthy; and with the moral and physical welfare of a person, a family, a neighbourhood, or a community.

Excellent work experience opportunities

During the course, you'll have an opportunity to incorporate work experience into your academic studies through the Professional Practice module. This experience will allow you to put theory into practice, enhance your understanding of relevant organisations, and develop networks.

Volunteering in a health and social care setting is also encouraged, both as a means of enhancing your academic studies and of building relevant experience.

How you’re taught

To provide you with a first-class learning experience and to guarantee you have an opportunity to make the most of your time at university, you'll receive contact time through a diverse range of delivery methods.

Structured teaching will be delivered through a combination of traditional lectures, seminars and workshops. The smaller group seminars and workshops provide opportunities to develop problem-solving, group working, analysis, debating and presentation skills, and to discuss a wide range of views.

You'll also learn from real-life observational exercises and self-assessment quizzes.

Careers and employability

In professional terms, the organisations of Health and Social Care services are undergoing significant change, with new partnerships, new ways of working, and the development of new practitioner roles offering challenges and opportunities for service providers and workers. This modern course is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills and values to meet these future professional challenges.
