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.
The semester one (from September to January) modules for each course are listed below:
HEU411 – Dimensions of Health and Social Care: This module introduces the concepts of health and social care and will explore these broad ranging concepts at individual, community and societal levels.
