We require applicants without GCSE English to demonstrate competence in written English. This exciting course provides an opportunity to explore the factors that affect the health and well-being of individuals and communities.
Contemporary society is increasingly health-conscious and recognises that health is a complex issue.
Employers welcome individuals with the knowledge and skills to support and develop the good health and well-being of individuals and communities. Understanding health requires awareness, appreciation and analysis of the associated factors at the level of the individual and at the level of the wider community and national issues and agendas. To work successfully within this diverse arena, individuals need the ability to interpret and make use of a wide range of information. They also need the ability to work successfully as part of a productive team with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Problem identification, problem solving, enhanced helping and introductory counselling skills also underpin careers in this area.
