BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care at Chevron College

The BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care at Chevron College is an internationally recognized social science degree course which combines academic theory with practical experience.

Students are challenged to develop a critical understanding of integrated health and social care welfare structures and processes.

This course also incorporates at least one (and optionally two) supervised placement which will enable students to gain practical, real-world experience of a health and social care environment of their choosing. Examples of placement providers include day services, drug rehabilitation centres, domestic violence support services, LGBTI support and advocacy services and sex worker support and advocacy services.

This course aims to provide students with a detailed understanding of health and social care theory, policy and practice.
