Before you hear from our lecturers and take a look through the course content, why not hear what our students say!
"I didn’t have any idea on what I wanted to pursue a career in, I knew it was probably going to be health and social care related and the list of possible careers it would lead too interested me. I have always loved being around people and knowing this course would send me into a career where I can support people, whether it be children, the elderly or the general public, this interested me. I didn’t pick A levels because I don’t do well with exams/revision, so coursework, full time, and a one subject course was perfect for me.
I really enjoyed the opportunities we were given when on placements, there was a huge range of places we could go and get experience and it helped me decide which areas I preferred and which areas didn’t suit me as well. It also allowed me to gain so much confidence too, and there was always amazing support from all the lecturers, whether this was with the coursework, placement or just general life.
Everyone is friendly, helpful and the access to the general site and any support is so easy to access. Also, it is a really nice place to study, with special quiet areas where you can study and know you won’t be distracted. They have thought of everything a student would need to be able to support them to get their best potential grade"
