The programme aims to develop the skills necessary for professional work and is based on the belief that you need to ‘learn by doing’. Our aim is to develop the knowledge and professional skills required to work successfully in public health, social care and community engagement. It has been developed with a focus on ‘community’, through engagement with community groups, community-based health and social care employers and voluntary organisations.
The specialist modules in this programme will develop your skills and understanding of Community, Public Health and Social Care studies and related ideas such as community cohesion and the role of research methods in improving professional practice. The programme will develop students’ skills and understanding of health and social care settings, person centred care, safeguarding and leading inclusive best practice for progression into employment or further study. You will be encouraged to think critically to support your learning of ideas, concepts and research combined with real world practice.
