Within Health and Social Care, we've got lots of flexible learning opportunities, so you can reach your full potential. We've got a mix of undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses so you're sure to find a course to suit you, whether you're just starting out in your training, or wanting to further develop your career with a professional qualification.
Our strong links with the NHS, and a wide range of statutory and voluntary agencies, means we're keeping our finger on the pulse of what is currently relevant within the healthcare professions.
We understand the problems of juggling work, family life and studying
We've had lots of experience of working with people who are trying to fit studying for a professional course around their work and family life, so we understand the pressure you're under. You can take many of our courses part time or full time, and even online. Many of our lecturers also work in clinical practice, and so can really help you put theory into practice, using examples drawn directly from their own practice and research experience.
