In the Health and Social Care subject area we always use a wide range of innovative and engaging resources and methods of teaching. During your course we will be combining face to face lectures and interactive seminars, with pre-recorded and live online content and online resources to help to scaffold and support your learning. We are also particularly focused on evidence-based learning, so we will be engaging you in the latest research, policy and practice from industry. This is in addition to your own directed learning tasks and extensive reading that you will do outside of the taught sessions.

Fridays 9:00-11:00am, 12:00-14:00pm and 15:00-17:00pm

Full details of your individual academic timetable will be available on mynewman after you have completed online enrolment and set up your student login.
