BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care with Foundation Year
We are currently reviewing our foundation course to enhance student learning and success. Course details may be subject to updates. Please keep an eye on our pages for updates.
In this module students will explore the ways that different groups of people experience society, with a focus on discrimination and how to combat it. We will be looking at how we can place people with care and support needs at the heart of our work. We will then consider different ways of doing this within social care. Lived experience perspectives will underpin the module throughout, together with exploring the wishes and feelings of people with social care needs and lived experience.
You will work with peers on case studies centred on the concept of the family. You will learn how different professions work together through group tasks.
The module is a combination of academic study skills and problem based learning designed to develop your skills and prepare you for undergraduate study. You will learn skills such as critical reading, academic writing and the importance of referencing. You will learn about working with others to solve problems. Learning Outcomes 1) Carry out defined investigative strategies and communicate results effectively in a given format 2) Use a range of digital tools to complete tasks effectively 3) Collect information to inform a choice of solutions to problems 4) Reflect on own and others' behaviours and capabilities against given criteria
This module will help students define social care and place social care provision in context in Britain today. We will explore how social care is funded and delivered in the UK by drawing on examples of social care providers from the private, voluntary and statutory sectors. We will consider how differing care and support needs are met through social care provision.
The module will introduce you to ethical issues within your field of study. You will explore issues of respect for others, cultural awareness, and equality and diversity in your subject. You will be faced with ethical dilemmas and will need to formulate responses that demonstrate your understanding of what it means to be an ethical practitioner.
