Course summary

Course overview

The BA (Hons) Health and Social Care with foundation year provides a route onto a degree if you don't meet the entry requirements for the BA (Hons), but have the ability and motivation to study for a degree.

We know that services for people are most effective when they are joined up and health and social care professionals work together. It’s important to understand people’s physical health needs, their emotional needs and their social circumstances. This can help us to appreciate each person’s unique circumstances and work in joined up ways to find solutions.

Traditional health and social care roles are changing. There’s a shift towards partnership working across the health and social care sector including within social services, charities, the NHS and social enterprises. We’ve designed this course to help you work across these settings so you can have a positive impact on people’s lives.

You won’t simply learn the theory behind integrating health and social care, you’ll explore how it works in practice from working with service users to designing service provision. Topics might include how unevenly distributed resources across society affect a person’s life, how the support and care a person needs changes as they age or how to recognise a person’s strengths to make a difference to their life.

You’ll also explore global representations and perspectives of health and social care. Alongside lectures and seminars, you’ll work in small groups to solve problems set by employers such as developing ideas for community projects around homelessness, poverty and isolation.

Career prospects

We’ve designed our courses to help you work across settings so that you can have a positive impact on people’s lives, making a difference to society. Through our courses we will help you to grow into a resilient graduate. We aim to help you develop communication, critical thinking, leadership and problem-solving skills so that you have the building blocks to begin your journey as a social care or social work leader.

Sectors you could work in include children and families, criminal justice, mental health, community care and public health. You could go on to work for organisations such as the NHS, local authorities, charities, or social enterprises. Today you’ll find our graduates working in social work, education, the Probation Service, youth and community work, and public relations within the public sector.
