Program Overview
Course Details
This course is a golden opportunity to develop the intellectual, personal and practical skills so sought-after by employers in the healthcare industries. You’ll have the chance to develop and enhance your understanding of the principles of care, along with the legal and ethical issues associated with social policy and working in the healthcare industries.
Along the way, our expert team will introduce you to theories and concepts in psychology and help you explore anatomy and physiology. We’ll also encourage you to study cases where you can apply your learning, and benefit from our strong emphasis on improving the quality of care delivery within the healthcare sector. With a flexible, open-minded and analytical approach to studying and to the issues raised during your studies, you should be primed to make significant progress towards your goals.
Getting out of the classroom and into the workplace is a key part of your learning, so a dedicated work placement forms part of the course, in which you’ll be encouraged to immerse yourself as a volunteer in a health and social care environment.
Highlights
You can benefit from teaching delivered by research-active staff who have close links with the healthcare industries, including the NHS, voluntary and charitable organisations.
The course is designed to be flexible if you’re already juggling personal and professional commitments, or working full-time.
You’ll have access to university e-learning resources, an extensive e-library and the support of university librarians.
A link tutor provides academic communication between The Growth Company and the University of Bolton academic school so that the experience you receive as an off-campus student is equivalent to an on-campus student.
As an off-campus student, you also receive the support of a dedicated off-campus team and resources, to help make you truly feel part of the university.
