How you learn

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.

This course is multi-disciplinary, exploring health and illness in terms of its psychological, sociological, biological and political context. Areas of study include biopsychosocial approaches to acute illness, adjustment to long-term conditions and bereavement, clinical practitioner skills and competencies and behaviour change interventions.

Modules combine online learning with weekly on-campus study days. This provides flexible learning opportunities to enable a diverse range of students to study alongside employment and/or family commitments. Students attend an induction on campus in September, before typically attending one day per week thereafter.
