Why study Health & Social Care at BU?
- Opportunity to study in clinical and community simulation suites: Most of our health & social care courses are based in the modern Bournemouth Gateway Building on Lansdowne Campus. If they’re relevant to your course, you’ll have the opportunity to experience practice simulation suites that mirror both clinical and community workplace settings, providing a safe environment to practise your skills before heading out on placement
- Placements: Develop your skills via BU’s network of integrated placements in NHS Trusts and community settings across the south
- Professional accreditations: Relevant courses benefit from professional accreditations or approval from bodies such as the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC), the College of Paramedics, the Association for Nutrition, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT), the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Social Work England
- Life-changing research: Study in an environment that generates life-changing research across health and social care – from improving nurse retention and tackling financial scams, to managing the effects of multiple sclerosis and improving nutritional care for people with dementia.
