About this course
Health and social care is a field concerned with how societies support the wellbeing of individuals and communities, particularly those who are vulnerable, ill, or disadvantaged. It brings together knowledge from social policy, sociology, psychology, public health, and law to examine how services are organised, funded, and delivered, and how people experience care across their lives. The professional practice dimension of this programme at Birkbeck College means the curriculum is oriented not only toward understanding these systems but toward equipping you to work within and improve them. Birkbeck is distinctive as a university that serves students who work during the day, with much of its teaching delivered in the evenings. This programme includes a foundation year and runs over four years full-time, welcoming students who need additional academic preparation before the main degree. Th
