The BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care programme equips students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience to succeed in the health and social care sectors. This course combines evidence-based practice, policy understanding, and hands-on learning to prepare graduates for real-world challenges in supporting individuals and communities.
Students explore a wide range of topics, including public and community health, mental health support, social care policy, healthcare management, and patient advocacy, gaining the tools to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. Practical placements, collaborative projects, and applied research ensure students can translate theory into professional practice.
The programme also develops key transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, ethical decision-making, analytical thinking, and project management, giving students the versatility to succeed in diverse care settings.
Graduates are prepared for careers in healthcare administration, social services, community health programs, health education, mental health support, policy advisory roles, or allied health professions, and are well-positioned for further study or professional certifications.
Assessment of Bachelor programmes is continuous and practical rather than based on a single final exam. Typical assessment methods include:
Written reports and essays
Class presentations
Project work and case studies
Group assignments
Portfolios and reflective journals
In-class activities and practical tasks
This course is structured around units or modules, where students are assessed as they complete each topic — often through a combination of assignments and project work rather than only exams.
