You'll study health and social care by exploring its origins, philosophy and priorities. Including the promotion of good health as well as the management of illness.

You’ll also learn to work with patients, their families and carers, as well as other healthcare professionals.

Working in our purpose-built facilities will give you a great opportunity to apply the skills you learn. We have a multi-sensory environment, a biomechanics laboratory and an adapted flat.
