With entry points throughout the year, we deliver a diverse selection of multiprofessional units (eg research, mentorship and leadership), as well as units specific to subjects such as nursing, medicine and public health. The aim is to provide a structured yet flexible student experience for those wishing to develop professionally and personally within the fields of health and social care. Students range from those wanting to follow a very specific career path to those whose aspirations are more flexible and evolving. We cater primarily for people already qualified/experienced in the health and social care field.
