Deep understanding of health and social issues is achieved by combining extensive placement opportunities with academic classroom-based learning. At each level you can also choose from a range of elective courses from other disciplines that are complementary to the core health and social sector focus. Several core courses are accredited by the Institute of Leadership & Management.
