Health & Social Care Higher Education
Demand for expertise in health and wellbeing is high and likely to increase.
Industry leading courses
The Covid pandemic laid bare our reliance on a committed, at times heroic, but always overstretched body of health and social care professionals. Demand for expertise in all areas of health and wellbeing is high and in an ageing society likely only to increase.
The original vocation, it offers many routes toward the practice and management of social care, nursing, and medicine. Petroc offers a range of degree-level programmes to support the growing needs of this industry.
Access courses introduce social work and nursing concepts, and apprenticeships explore the subject in greater depth while working, offering a route toward practice management.
Foundation degrees and BSc programmes offer opportunities to qualify in health and social care generally or to specialise in childhood, early years, or adult nursing.
Petroc is a calm and friendly environment, with a good balance of structure to the course. The support given is exceptional!
