What the college says

This option is for students who are interested in possible future careers within the health, social care and public services. It offers the opportunity to specialised degrees within medicine, paramedics, health studies, health sciences, psychology, physiotherapy, social work, health service business management and sociology. What makes health and social care an exciting subject is that it helps us to learn more about ourselves and human development throughout the lifespan from birth to old age. You will learn how the mind develops, and how theories have been developed which enable us to understand behaviour and development. In this unit you will be enabled to apply this knowledge in the management of post- traumatic stress disorder and the range of treatment options, settings and practitioners available to the client.

What you need to get on

4-5 GCSE's including English, maths and science at grade 4 (C) or above.

How you are assessed
