Course Overview

This four-year degree programme is designed to prepare students for a wide range of rewarding careers in the health, social care and wellbeing sectors. It includes an introductory foundation year, making it an ideal choice for those who do not yet meet the standard entry requirements for a three-year degree or who would benefit from additional academic support before progressing to undergraduate study. During the foundation year, students develop essential academic study skills and explore social science topics, building the confidence needed for success. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, students progress to the main three-year degree, where they focus on the principles, policies and practices that underpin effective health and social care. The course offers a modern, practical approach, informed by current changes in the UK healthcare sector, including technological advancements and evolving care needs. Students benefit from academic tutoring, workshops on career development, and opportunities to gain practical experience, ensuring they are well-equipped for management and leadership roles in the sector.
