Health Studies

Course summary

This course equips students with the fundamental skills needed for a career in health and social care services. One of the ways in which students achieve this is through exciting work placements at several Health and Social Care settings, for example, nurseries, hospitals, hospices, nursing homes and primary schools. Students can arrange their own relevant work experience at some of these settings. Work experience is completed over the two year duration, so students spend some days learning on site and others at placement. In addition, our dedicated team of teachers have first-hand experience of working within the health and social care field; they provide a broad and in-depth foundation of knowledge that students can use for the workplace, apprenticeships or further studies such as university. Topics covered include Psychology, Sociology, Biology and key aspects of Health legislation and law.
