Study Health and Social Care

Health and social care are fast growing areas of employment and academic investigation, covering aspects such as life course studies, health policy, social inequalities, epidemiology, public and voluntary sector management.

Our brand new programmes bring together the expertise of staff from across the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Business.

We offer a suite of undergraduate programmes that give students the opportunity to choose a degree that suits their interests and career ambitions.

Our courses have a strong focus on understanding the inequalities that shape changing needs and the policies that respond to them at both local and global scales.

You can opt for a degree with professional practice that includes a micro-placement and support to develop your career.

If you're an undergraduate student looking to study with us, come along to our Student Support Event on 26 November.

If you're a postgraduate student looking to start studying in January or October 2026, you can join us at our campus tours, suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
