You can also volunteer for work experience in a relevant organisation so you can put your knowledge to test. Our course is perfect for anyone who is interested in how society effects our health and wellbeing. We will study society and its impact on our health and wellbeing, including how harmful trends within our society are dealt with. We examine the impact and the cause of poor wellbeing both in terms of national policy and general healthcare practises. This subject is perfect if you want to pursue a career in the public sector, either working in policy or politics, with ambition to change the landscape of healthcare and the health sector in the UK. Health and social science will help you to attain key transferable academic skills which are needed to pursue a career in the wellbeing, health, social and voluntary sectors. You’ll be well qualified for positions such as a health assessment officer, exercise coordinators and lifestyle coaches.
