PETROC: HET005 UCAS: L513
This course provides an exciting opportunity to study current issues related to the expanding sector of health and social care. This is the largest employment field in the South West region, and the programme has close links with local employment trends. This foundation degree provides an opportunity to study key topics within the health and social care field at degree level.
Health and social care share a common core of values, a skills base, and the underpinning of knowledge that is reflected in this programme of study.
Stage 1 introduces appropriate professional skills including communication and developing graduate skills, as well as knowledge related to social change, health and social care legislation, social policy, lifespan development and understanding health and social care organisations.
In Stage 2, you will build on this knowledge and are encouraged to develop skills as an independent learner, studying issues of equality and managing resources as well as carrying out a work-based project and studies of professional practice.
PROGRESSION
Foundation degrees stand alone as a qualification in their own right, but there are a number of routes open to students once they have successfully completed the foundation degree. For example, graduates could continue to study at Petroc on the full- or part-time BA (Hons) Professional Development (Health and Social Care), or BSc (Hons) Sociology at the University of Plymouth, or apply to progress to a relevant Level 6 Honours Degree course (subject to eligibility) or another related programme. Please note that there is a deadline for progression applications and places may be subject to availability. Alternatively, graduates can use the FdSc to further their existing career or start a new career pathway in the health and social care sector.
