Our Health and Social Care BSc (Hons) leads to rewarding careers, making a meaningful difference to the complex needs of individuals and communities. Our friendly and supportive teaching team are experienced health and social care practitioners, putting us in a unique position to offer specialised optional modules in subjects such as neurodiversity, criminology, and substance misuse. This means you can tailor your studies to suit your particular interests or career goals. Our dedicated employability tutors will support you in completing vocational work placements one day a week throughout your studies, to boost your employability, apply your learning as a practitioner, help you discover your area of passion and give you a real edge as a graduate.

We co-deliver our programme with ‘experts by experience’, who are those who have used social care services or their parents and carers. This participatory approach is best practice in the health and social care sector, and as part of your degree, leads you to having authentic understanding, powerfully boosting your skills, vocational performance and career prospects.

You will have the opportunity to progress on to a wide range of rewarding careers in areas such as family support, community mental health, care management services, alternative education provision, addiction services, domestic violence, housing, social prescribing, disability support and health education. Alternatively, you could progress on to Master’s level study in areas such as social work, counselling, teaching or psychology.
