Social Care and Sports & Physical Education

SOCIAL CARE

As Social Care evolves in the UK, fresh chances appear for open-minded, creative graduates. This course aims to develop graduates who understand the root causes of social inequalities that lead to care needs. We seek those who are driven to shape services sensitive to these needs.

Our curriculum pulls from various academic fields to keep it engaging and challenging. We also value the lived experiences of Social Care users, ensuring their voices are integrated throughout the course.

The School of Social Sciences connects well with local and national groups. These organizations support people with social care needs. This helps us stay updated on current issues in Social Care, making sure our curriculum stays relevant.
