Health and Social Care with Foundation Year

Our foundation year offers the chance to strengthen your skills, knowledge and confidence – with extensive support from our expert staff – before you advance to stage one of your honours degree. It could also be beneficial if you are planning a career change and want to get to grips with aspects of subjects which are new to you.

The Foundation Year is your stepping stone to a worthwhile future helping people live more independent, active and healthy lives. With the chance to apply your knowledge to real work situations, completion of the Foundation Year course leads on to the full BA (Hons) Health and Social Care. Offering a thorough grounding in topics like sociology, social policy and psychology, the Foundation Year enables you to make a smooth transition to honours level studies. On graduation, you will be equipped to plan and deliver effective health and social care services.
