Course Description
Health & Social Care is all about compassion, support and understanding both individual needs and broader sociocultural context. Here at Bishop Grosseteste University, we practice what we teach. Our undergraduate course has been developed in consultation with Health and Social Care services in Lincoln, thus ensuring relevance to provision within the community and meeting employers’ expectations.
Health and social care delivery has always been an area of debate in both the public and political arenas. It was a key feature in the manifestos of the main political parties in the last UK election due to concerns that health and care systems were being overwhelmed by unprecedented demand (Oliver, et al, 2014). With the UK population of over 75’s projected to more than double in size in the next 20 years, and currently over 22% of our population being over 65, demand for both health and social care services continues to increase at an unprecedented rate. Additionally, the COVID19 Pandemic has accentuated demands on the sector and exposed very real fragilities that need to be urgently addressed. This course provides the opportunity to consider these issues and to critical evaluate how to start to make things better by doing things differently.
If you don’t have, or don’t think you will attain, the normal tariff points for studying at BGU, this course will enable you to study for a degree without any UCAS points. The course is delivered over four years and includes a Foundation Year, which gives you a perfect introduction to what it means to be a university student and prepares you for effective undergraduate study. In your Foundation Year, you will study eight modules, all of which are designed to equip you with the necessary academic skills and knowledge to progress successfully in your chosen subject. You will also engage in a series of bespoke subject sessions delivered by experts, designed to introduce you to your chosen subject area.
