Health and social care are fast-growing areas of employment and academic investigation. Our new BA/BSc Health and Social Care/with Professional Practice has been designed to bring together the very best of this interdisciplinary area to provide you with a strong grounding in:
- the national and international context of health and social care
- the inequalities that shape changing needs
- the policies that respond to them.
Taught by academic experts from across the social sciences and humanities, this course will enable you to gain work-relevant skills and to develop academic expertise through our wide choice of option modules and opportunities for individual study.
BA Health and Social Care : the BA degree is particularly suitable if you are interested in understanding how arts and humanities approaches can help us understand and respond to changing needs within health and social care, across time and space. You will use a wide range of sources, such as policy documents, literary texts, film and archives to develop a deep understanding of people’s relationships to their own and others’ health.
BSc Health and Social Care : this BSc degree is ideal if you are more interested in the social context of the health and social care sectors, how policy develops and how it is implemented.
With Professional Practice : if you opt for either the BA or BSc Health and Social Care with Professional Practice route, you will have the chance to gain practical work-based experience during this degree by undertaking a work placement module as well as completing a work-based digital project.
If you opt for the Foundation Year route, this will fully prepare you for undergraduate study. It is ideal if you are returning to study after a gap, or if you have not previously studied the relevant subjects, or if you didn't achieve the grades you need for a place on your chosen undergraduate degree.
