Study for a part-time degree in Health & Social Care Policy

 Studying Health & Social Care Policy will allow you to relate health and social care policy and practice to: 

- Ideologies of care; 
- The legal and economic context of health and social care in different national settings; 
- The use of social science evidence in policy-making and implementation; 
- Health and social care systems in meeting human need.

You will acquire a good understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of health and social care and gain a range of practical and transferable skills.

The programme reflects contemporary developments in the field of health and social care in the United Kingdom and internationally, particularly the demand for a qualified workforce. It is an appropriate preparation for various careers in health services, social care more widely and the voluntary sector. It also provides an educational foundation for a range of administrative and management careers in health and social care services. Students may progress to professional training for related specialisms such as Social Work, Public Health, Health Promotion, Community Youth Work or study for a higher degree.
