Course summary
The programme has been designed to develop a range of cognitive and intellectual skills together with techniques specific to health and social care management and aligned to the benchmarks for knowledge and understanding within the framework covering Organisations, the External Environment and Management. In order to ensure that the suite of modules is fit for purpose, professional body requirements, such as those of the Health and Care Professional Council and Institute of Healthcare Management, have also been considered in the overall structure. Students taking this programme will be working in a health or social care environment and will, therefore, have an opportunity to immediately practise skills gained from the course, and the majority of course assessments will require explicit evidence of the transfer of knowledge and understanding into the workplace. The degree programme has been constructed with regard to the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) with modules at Levels 4, 5 and 6 aligned with the QAA descriptors for the qualifications of Certificate in Higher Education, Diploma in Higher Education and a Bachelor’s Degree with Honours. The programme includes a Foundation Year for students who wish to do a degree programme, but do not meet the entry requirements. It is designed to remove academic gaps, improve literacy and familiarise students with the UK Higher Education.
