Health and Social Care (top-up)

In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide.

If you already have a foundation degree or HND in a related subject area, get ready to boost your career prospects and make a real difference to the daily lives of vulnerable people by studying our BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care final year top-up degree.

Health and social care is a vast service sector providing support to vulnerable people, such as children, older people and adults with disabilities or mental health issues. The University of Greater Manchester's BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care final year top-up course offers you the opportunity to build on previous qualifications to develop the values, skills and knowledge essential to good health and social care practice, opening the door to a huge range of rewarding employment opportunities.

Balancing policy, practice, and academic training, our course is strongly linked to the UK government’s health and social care agendas. Our highly experienced and dedicated team will lead you in an exploration of compassionate health and social care, research in health and social care, safeguarding, and more. We’ll support you as you learn how to collaborate across professional boundaries, use evidence to inform your decisions and gain an understanding of critical issues in health and social care and ways of dealing with them.

Our focus is on helping you become a knowledgeable, compassionate, and person-centred professional.
