Health and Social Care

University of Huddersfield

From exploring different aspects of Health and Social Care to looking at how to assess needs, our Health and Social Care BSc(Hons) degree will also introduce you to law, social policy, assessment and care planning. On the course, you’ll explore your own values in relation to working with diverse groups, and you’ll engage in becoming a reflective practitioner. Introducing you to a wealth of post-university career opportunities, this course gives you the chance to put your theoretical skills into practice by undertaking a work placement in your third year. Supporting and enhancing your learning and increasing your future employability prospects, the placement could give you the chance to make useful industry contacts, as well as give you the edge when applying for a relevant role. You’ll have the opportunity to progress to careers in diverse areas, including youth work, housing, domestic violence, social prescribing, and drug and alcohol support. Alternatively, you could pursue further, Master’s level study to enter fields such as nursing, social work, and occupational therapy.
