Edge Hill University offers an extensive range of undergraduate and postgraduate health and social care courses depending on the career path you wish to take.
Undergraduate
Our undergraduate courses are usually for learners with no previous higher education qualifications, for learners who wish to increase their knowledge of a specific subject or to prepare you for a particular career.
The Faculty’s nursing, midwifery, paramedic and operating department practitioner courses will equip you with the knowledge and skills to be a competent and efficient health professional. Our degree in social work will provide you with the professional qualification for social workers.
Degree programmes in applied health and social care are ideal if you’re interested in providing community-based healthcare and support either within or outside the NHS. Programmes within the area of applied health and social care draw upon a diverse knowledge base of subjects and specialisms, both traditional and contemporary.
Our choice of health and social care-related foundation degrees will help develop your skills and enhance your career opportunities. For those who have already successfully completed a foundation degree or diploma, we offer several degree top-up routes.
Edge Hill University also offers degree programmes in International Midwifery Studies and International Nursing Studies to provide midwives and nurses working around the world the opportunity to study at degree level.
Postgraduate and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
The Faculty’s postgraduate programmes are usually for learners with existing higher education qualifications who want to study a specific subject at a higher level or gain a higher qualification to help them progress in their career. The entry requirements for our postgraduate and CPD courses recognise that learners have existing professional qualifications and previous experience.
Our innovative postgraduate and CPD portfolio provides flexible and responsive provision for professionals seeking to enhance health and social care delivery whilst progressing in their careers.
STOP PRESS: Edge Hill University is pleased to announce that it will not be increasing its fees for health and social care CPD courses for the next academic year (2012/13). The move is part of Edge Hill’s commitment to support professionals in their quest to increase their skills and improve the care they give to patients. It will also allow Edge Hill’s existing students to continue with their studies without fear of affordability.
