Health and Social Care Studies Top-Up BSc (Hons)

The BSc Health and Social Care Studies (Top up), validated by Sheffield Hallam University, enables students with a FdSc Professional Practice in Health and Social Care (or similar), to gain a full undergraduate degree qualification. <br/><br/>The course will enable you to: <br/>• Develop an understanding of the complexities of working in the health and social care sector. <br/>• Gain analytical techniques and problem-solving skills that can be applied in many types of employment within the health and social care sector. <br/>• Earn an honours degree in this field, whether you’re a foundation degree holder or have studied equivalent level 5 health and social care qualifications. <br/><br/>This top-up course is designed to enhance the qualifications of students who aim to work in non-registered roles across health and social care organisations. It will prepare you to lead organisations and services in emerging integrated health and social care roles. <br/><br/>This course is suitable for those wishing to pursue a career in health and social care, but who are either unsure about which field of practice they wish to work within or are perhaps not eligible to access a pre-registration course. <br/><br/>Following completion of this course, students may apply for pre-registration courses at Masters level. <br/><br/>This course extends the FdSc Professional Practice in Health and Social Care which provides a principal route for the training and education of assistant practitioners, who have developed roles in a wide range of services including: <br/>– long term conditions <br/>– staying healthy <br/>– end of life care <br/>– maternity and newborn <br/>– acute care <br/>– planned care <br/>– mental health <br/>– children and families
