Course summary

The BSc (Hons) Health, Wellbeing and Care in Society degree gives you the opportunity to gain critical understanding of integrated health and social care welfare structures and processes, as well as advanced theoretical knowledge and skills in practice and management in the sector. The completion of a work placement enables you to gain practical, real-world experience of a health and social care working environment. The course integrates different perspectives which all have a strong basis in social sciences and have been developed to address both student and employer needs. The course allows you to develop the attributes you need to succeed and graduate with a degree that balances broad topics and theories relating to health, wellbeing and social care. You'll apply these to contemporary issues such as mental health, substance use, and domestic abuse and also focus attention on public health-related issues such as health promotion, health inequalities, and health ethics. The teaching staff are experts in their field, bringing with them practice-based experience. We also integrate important inputs from the Centre for Graduate Prospects to think about employability, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
