The School of Nursing and Midwifery offers a one year top-up full-time Health Studies BA(Hons) course for students with a nursing diploma in preparation for the move towards an all graduate profession. A part-time option is also available over two years with a 5% early payment discount.
This vibrant course is delivered across SNM and the School of Applied Social Science and is available for both full-time or part-time students. The course offers core modules of Health and Social Policy, Health Promotion, and Research Studies with some free choice options including a European Nursing module and an online Global Health Studies module. The end dissertation allows the student to develop and focus on an area of particular interest related to health and well being.
Feedback from one of our full-time students, Luciana Leite:
"The course has been excellent and it has exceeded my expectations. I decided to do this course because I wanted to improve my knowledge of health policy and promotion, including their application. In addition, this course will give me the opportunity to develop my studies onto a master's level, which I plan to do in the future. The lectures and assignments have made me reflect on my practice and on the standard of care. The course has opened my mind to a holistic view of nursing, giving me a wide perspective of global aspects of health, which will reflect in my professional career and nursing care."
