Introduction
This Foundation Degree Public Health and Social Care is a two-year programme designed to take account of the current and envisaged changes in the UK healthcare sector. The ageing population, advances in healthcare technology, rising care costs and concerns about the quality of healthcare provision, present a need for programmes that offer a mix of academic and vocational skills. The programme is for those who are either working in or intending to work in the health or social care sectors or those graduating from a wide range of health and social care level 3 programmes.
Students will have the opportunity to develop a core set of knowledge, skills and values required to deliver public health and social care and enhance their personal development. The course provides a comprehensive, comparative approach to health and social care. It is produced in an interactive way, helping students to develop the confidence, knowledge and skills required for their future career in the health and social care sector.
