Course summary

This course has been designed to produce the professionals of the future, who can positively address the challenges that health and social care presents. Meeting the health and social care needs of the population is one of the greatest challenges facing any society. It extends to almost every facet of social life, from the person who is unwell and seeking support for themselves, to political decisions about how to structure national systems of healthcare delivery. Throughout your studies you will be taught by friendly, knowledgeable lecturers, who have been employed in either health or social care and are well equipped to help you relate your study topics to current policy and practice. We also offer Health and Social Care BSc (Hons) with a foundation year, delivered at Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College. The first year of your study is undertaken at your chosen college and, once successfully completed, you’re then able to progress onto the three-year BSc (Hons) course delivered at the University.This offers you the opportunity to develop core transferable skills and knowledge relevant to health care, social care and public health.
