Foundation Degree (FDSc.) Health and Society & BSc. (Hons) Public Health

Nowadays, health is seen increasingly as everyone's business: what does 'being healthy' actually mean? What are the new risks to our health and what can we do about them? What are we doing to the environment? Why is there such a disparity in standards of health amongst different groups in society? This programme helps you develop ability in both social and natural sciences to tackle questions like these. Validated and awarded by University of Chester, within the Faculty of Health and Social Care, the whole programme is delivered on-Island.
