Welcome To HSC

The School of Health & Social Care (HSC) at Bournemouth University has a long standing reputation for providing student-centred, innovative programmes of education that prepare and develop health and social care practitioners. We take pride in the quality of our educational experience, working closely with partners in health, social care and private service provision to ensure studying at HSC leads to fitness for practice and purpose.

We offer a wide variety of under graduate programmes- the four branches of nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, operating department practice, social care, community and youth work and, in conjunction with partners, chiropractic, exercise science, nutrition and early years. In addition, there are many courses for qualified health and social care professionals who may wish to continue their personal and professional development at under graduate or post graduate levels. We have dynamic researchers working in the School who are contributing to new knowledge around a number of topics, working collaboratively across the School, University and health and social care community.

This Website provides you with detail about all of these activities. HSC is divided into Academic Groups and information about each of these is available either by clicking the relevant group on the left menu on this page or by clicking the relevant group at the bottom of this page. For specific course information go to Undergraduate Courses or Postgraduate/Post Qualification Courses on the left menu.

We hope you find the site interesting and informative and that it helps you to decide that Bournemouth University is the place for you.
