The BA (Hons) Health and Social Care with Foundation Year degree will prepare you to support individuals at different points within the life-course.

Our BA (Hons) Health and Social Care degree will prepare you to work in a variety of settings which meet the needs of individuals, families and communities.

As people live longer, there is an increasing demand for care and support. Technology in health and social care has also enhanced the opportunities available.

Working in health and social care can provide you with an unlimited number of opportunities and roles. Health and social care is required in every country in the world and so your skills will not be limited to the UK. 

To respond to this, the programme includes modules focussing on a variety of valuable and exciting themes including Environment and Sustainability, Health and Crime, International Perspectives on Health and Working with Disadvantaged Individuals, Families and Communities.

Students who studied on our earlier health and social care-focused programmes have progressed onto a variety of employment opportunities linked to health and social care, as well as postgraduate programmes such as MA Social Work, MSc Public Health, and MSc Counselling and Psychotherapy.
