Health Studies

Course summary

Health and Social Care Workers are those who do care. They care about social injustices committed every day, across the globe—behind closed doors and out in the open. They are the ones who care enough to believe they can make the world a better place. But as the Dalai Lama said ‘It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act.’ The overarching ethos underpinning the curriculum is for students to develop a broad understanding of the diverse practices, settings and influential factors that make up and affect the Health and Social Care sector whilst providing students with the theoretical knowledge to develop further interest in a rewarding and fulfilling career where you can make a real difference in people’s lives.
