Health and Social Care with Foundation Year

About this course

Health and social care is a field concerned with how societies support the wellbeing of all their members, particularly those who are vulnerable, disabled, elderly, or experiencing mental or physical illness. It draws on social science, policy analysis, ethics, and the applied sciences of health and social work to understand how care systems are organised, what values and principles should guide them, and how practitioners can work effectively with individuals, families, and communities. The field is at the centre of some of the most significant policy debates in contemporary society, from the funding of adult social care to the integration of health and social services. At the University of Keele, this four-year full-time BSc with a foundation year provides the knowledge, professional preparation, and practical experience needed to contribute meaningfully to health and social care sett
