Health and Social Science
Do you want to study the changing world and the social and cultural influences on health, wellbeing and society?
On this course you will learn how to deconstruct issues and challenges in society related to diversity, health and gender. It also examines the ways in which globalisation is affecting the community and understandings of health, wellbeing and ageing.
This course gives you the key transferable academic skills needed to pursue a career in the wellbeing, health, social and voluntary sectors.
The course uses a multi-disciplinary approach to investigate the social world from a social science perspective, joining the areas of health, wellbeing, sport and social science together.
You will explore health from socio-cultural and global perspectives, as well as those from a political, environmental and social policy view.
As you learn you will develop skill-sets employers value, such as understanding and working in diverse social settings, critical thinking, report writing, presenting, and research methods.
On this flexible programme, you can choose from a variety of optional modules in year two and three. This allows you to tailor the programme to suit your personal interests, working to your strengths and fine-tuning your career path.
In your final year, you will work on a large project, exploring a specific area of interest. You will be able to tailor your dissertation to a particular area of interest, such as gender, diversity, ethnicity, ageing population, sport, wellbeing and youth and community. Your choice of subject will be decided by your personal interest in the topic.
