Health and Social Care BA (Hons)

Our emphasis is on nurturing versatile and flexible health and social care professionals who are not restricted by boundaries and who can work in multi-professional teams. This degree equips you for rewarding roles in areas such as:

Local authority, NHS and multi-agency teams working with children, young people and adults
Homelessness and social housing services
Refugee and asylum-seeker support agencies
Appropriate adult and advocacy work
Health promotion services
Community mental health teams
Intensive family support teams
Residential and nursing care management
Commissioning and care management teams
Care co-ordinator management.
Our graduates are now carving out successful careers in organisations across the independent, statutory and voluntary sectors. Some have chosen to move directly into working with vulnerable people within the NHS, adult and children’s social care services, while others have progressed into strategic management and leadership positions to develop improved services for individuals, families and communities.

The course will also give you a firm foundation of knowledge if you would like to specialise in areas such as social work, nursing, teaching and therapies in future.
