Programme Benefits
The BSc Health and Social Care (Top Up) opens opportunities for careers in health, care and community based organisations and projects in public, private or third sector. Our graduates leave with a set of knowledge and skills in leadership, statistics, creative thinking, critical thinking and an ability to work independently and in groups which will enable career progression through applying these to current or new workplaces. Many students progress onto their top up year already working in the health and social care sectors, but wish to pursue leadership or more senior roles. However graduates can also seek careers in organisations that deliver care of the elderly; drug and alcohol interventions; community care; care of those with learning, physical disabilities or mental health conditions. Health promotion and teaching are additional areas of employment.
Learning & Teaching Methods
Methods of learning and teaching are designed to support students in becoming active members of a learning community. You experience a wide range of learning environments from formal lectures and seminars to workshops, small group work and individual tutorials. Some lessons will be conducted in computer laboratories. There are opportunities to link your learning to your workplace on some modules. Studying at this level involves reading and independent thought to extend your knowledge base.
