This course is ideal for those with an interest in health and social care and a desire to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities. The course sits well alongside other social science subjects such as Social Policy and Sociology. For those with an interest in health sciences the Health and Wellbeing course also compliments subjects such as Nutrition and Human Biology, offering students the opportunity to explore how health science interacts with other domains of health.
Throughout your studies you will be considering key questions such as: what factors influence health and wellbeing? How do social experiences impact upon health and wellbeing? Why do different social groups experience health and wellbeing differently? How does policy impact on health and wellbeing? What is the role of public health? How can we work with communities to promote health and wellbeing? Throughout the course there is an emphasis on developing practical skills alongside academic knowledge.
