About this course

Health and social care practice is a field concerned with supporting people across a very wide range of settings and circumstances, from hospitals and care homes to community services, schools, and people's own homes. It is not a single profession but a broad domain that encompasses nursing support, social care, health promotion, disability services, mental health support, and the management of long-term conditions, and it is organised increasingly around the principle that health and social care should be integrated around the needs of the person rather than divided between professional silos. At the University of Northampton, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, which provides a supported and structured introduction to degree-level study in health and social care. The foundation year is designed for students who need to build their academic foundations before
