Course overview
In today’s society, health and social care are vital. By studying the BSc (Hons) in Health and Social Care with Foundation Year, you will learn skills that will enable you to make a difference in the daily lives of vulnerable people. You will be able to build and improve your knowledge and understanding in a wide range of professional practice areas within health and social care, such as mental health, physical disabilities and learning disabilities, safeguarding, and end-of-life care.
This unique health and social care degree takes a worldwide view of current and developing health and social care concerns and methods. Wellbeing is a recurring concept across the health and social care practice curriculum, encouraging practitioners, patients, and communities to be resilient. The health and social care degree places a heavy emphasis on innovative technologies and methodologies, as well as a holistic and cross-cultural perspective that is supported by research.
The course emphasises a diversity of voices, recognizing and responding to inequalities, and including a cross-cultural and global perspective of care, so you’ll be prepared to practise in a variety of settings and geographies and understand the needs and challenges of different communities and individuals from any background.
If you want to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, our Integrated Health and Social Care degree, which promotes a holistic and modern approach to meeting individuals’ health, care, and support requirements, could be the one for you. This degree will provide you with a solid foundation for working in a variety of statutory, voluntary, and independent settings, such as local authority teams, health promotion projects, refugee and asylum service hospitals, sheltered housing, hospices and day centres, and residential care units.
Students enrolled in this program will be working in a health or social care setting and will thus have the opportunity to immediately apply skills learned in the course, and the majority of course assessments will require explicit evidence of knowledge and understanding transfer into the workplace. Because this degree is applied, you will graduate with the knowledge, abilities, and experience required for professional practice and that employers in this developing area are looking for.
This BSc course prepares students for a variety of careers in the Health and Social Care industries. It is intended to provide students with the opportunity to seek and apply knowledge and understanding of health and social care through a systematic approach to evidence-based practice. Throughout this course, applied research is incorporated, supported by objective observation and critical analysis.
This program will help you create a career in the health and social care sector even if you lack the academic prerequisites to enrol in a conventional undergraduate degree course. It is designed to provide you with the skills you need to proceed to degree-level studies. The foundation year is ideal if you need a little additional help getting started on your path to higher education, as it provides study skills and coaching at every stage.

Fees breakdown
- Tuition fee loans cover the full cost of your course and are paid directly to the course provider.
- Maintenance Loan pays for day-to-day living expenses like rent, bills, food and books. Unlike the fees loan, it's paid directly to your student bank account once a term and you can spend it on anything you like.
- Student Finance has to be paid back, however, you only make Student Loan repayments once you've left your course AND are earning enough. Repayments vary with your salary, and stop altogether if your income drops too low.
- Students can also apply for other types of special support grants, such as childcare grants or Disabled Students' Allowance if eligible.
- Moreover, almost all universities offer a selection of student bursaries. These are cash gifts you usually don't have to repay.
