The BA (Hons) Adult Social Care has been developed to equip you with the knowledge and skills that are needed in today’s workforce. We have worked closely with local employers and key stakeholders to ensure the subjects covered within this degree align with the key priorities within the Adult Social Care sector. In addition to subject specific knowledge you will develop skills in critical thinking and analysis, problem solving, presentation skills and direct work with individuals and groups. The programme is relevant for both experienced practitioners and those who are contemplating a career in Adult Social Care. It is not essential that you have prior experience in social care but for those who do, opportunities may exist for you to import and gain credit for your existing social care qualifications.

The programme explores adult social care provision across a range of sectors from a multi-disciplinary and inter-professional perspective. Future careers could include direct work with adults or lead onto professional qualifying programmes : the MA (Social Work) , MA Leadership and Management ( Health and Social Care ) or MA in Advanced Professional Practice.
