Course Summary

**Why study this course?** This Health and Social Care (including foundation year) BSc degree is designed for those who want to progress their career in health and social care, but don’t meet the entry requirements for the undergraduate course. On completion of this four-year degree you’ll graduate with the same award and title as students on the three-year health and social care course. The foundation year will develop your academic study skills, which will prepare you for successful further study at undergraduate level. In the subsequent three years, you’ll focus more on the issue and practices within health and social care, gaining practical skills that will allow you to enter management and leadership roles in the sector. This course received a 90% overall student satisfaction score in the National Student Survey 2020. **More about this course** On our Health and Social Care (including foundation year) BSc, you’ll consider principles, knowledge, values and policies that underpin good health and social care practice and explore the formal and informal mechanisms required to promote good practice by individuals in the workforce. Throughout your degree there will be opportunities to work on your abilities outside of the classroom. We offer a number of workshops to help our students improve their academic skills, such as essay writing, and also increase their career prospects with workshops on interview and application practice. An academic tutor and mentor will be assigned to you and they will guide you through your time at the university, ensuring that you settle in and perform to the best of your ability. The foundation year will be shared with students from different degree specialisms. This will be the perfect opportunity to explore different academic interests and work with students who have different perspectives on a wide range of topics within social professions and social sciences. During this year you’ll focus on developing your academic and study skills that will enable you to take on the challenge of a degree with confidence. You’ll also explore the importance of critical assessment, consider the importance of different views, and be guided through the process of researching, planning, drafting and proofreading your essay. You’ll take one specialised module that will introduce you to the study of health and social care, preparing you for the subsequent three years of your degree. After the foundation year, you’ll join students starting on the three-year degree and study the same content. Visit the Health and Social Care BSc page to learn more about the course content for the three-years after your foundation year. If for any reason you find that you’d like to switch your degree specialism after the foundation year, there will be flexibility to do so.
