Build a career within the health and social care sector with UWS’s BA (Hons) Integrated Health & Social Care.
This degree reflects the changing environment within health and social care. It will allow you to explore the health and social care sector in response to changing demographics and the integration of services. The degree recognises the shift in services, from both a national and international perspective, and how they are moving towards prevention, person- centredness, enablement and empowerment of individuals and support within people’s homes. Central to the programme is valuing the role that all staff play in the implementation and delivery of integrated services.
The BA (Hons) Integrated Health & Social Care is the first of its kind in Scotland and is specifically designed as a progression or articulation route for those who have a relevant HNC from a Further Education college looking to strengthen their knowledge, skills and career in the rapidly changing environment of integrated health and social care provision.
- The degree is designed to provide an academic pathway for individuals who wish to pursue a career within health and social care in the public, private, third or voluntary sectors.
- The degree will help you understand the interplay between integrated health and social care systems.
- You will develop the knowledge and skills required to provide joined-up, comprehensive support services to improve outcomes for people using health and social care services.
- You will explore the practical ways support providers can work together to deliver high-quality and connected health and social care services to individuals.
- You will develop graduate skills required within this exciting and evolving sector.
