Course Description
Our Health and Social Care (including foundation year) BSc (Hons) is designed to prepare you for a wide range of careers in the health, social care and wellbeing sectors. This four-year programme includes an introductory foundation year, making it ideal if you don’t yet meet the entry requirements for the three-year course or if you’d like additional support before starting undergraduate study. On successful completion, you’ll graduate with the same award and title as students on the standard three-year degree.
The foundation year will develop your academic study skills, which will prepare you for successful further study at undergraduate level. In the subsequent three years, you’ll focus more on the issues and practices within health and social care, gaining practical skills that will allow you to enter management and leadership roles in the sector.
