About Health and Social Care Management
The broad demands placed on health and social care services ensure the need for skilled and talented individuals with the right qualifications. The areas of administration and management are permanently topical, with staff in these positions maintaining the smooth provision of services and managing change in organisations.
The degree will provide the knowledge and skills to analyse crucial public health and social care issues. The course is informed by current and expected changes in the UK healthcare sector, given the UK’s ageing population, advances in healthcare technology, quality concerns and the rising cost of providing healthcare.
The BA/BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care Management offers graduate entry for future managers and administrators of health and social care services in both the statutory and voluntary sectors. It provides you with the necessary skills and knowledge to be an effective employee of these ever-changing services.
The course aims to rise above the parts that make up health service; instead, it looks at how health and social care work together. The course will also open the possibilities for a career working for large aid organisations locally and abroad. The relevant placements further boost your employability upon graduation.
Some students progress to postgraduate study in education, public health, social work, occupational therapy, nursing and research. The work placements experienced throughout the three years allows you to explore those areas of health and social care within which you would like to develop your future career. Placements are in a wide range of settings, including the NHS, social care, charitable, non-profit making and private organisations, public health, occupational health, local authorities and Government.
