    Course Summary

    Liverpool Hope University’s Health and Wellbeing program is typically taken as art of a ‘combined’ program, along with Psychology or another similar discipline. It addresses society’s move towards prioritising health and overall wellbeing over the limited concept of ‘medicine’. The study of Health and Wellbeing is multidisciplinary, and addresses a wide range of issues including just where it all fits in to modern society and culture. The program has a strong focus on welfare and social justice, and trains you to look critically at the way societies meet these needs for their people.

    As you study, you’ll explore the disciplines of social policy, psychology, sociology and related issues in order to fully understand both the challenges and the unique opportunities the modern world resents to establishing health and wellbeing. You’ll look at the factors which affect health and wellbeing both positively and negatively, the way different groups experience health and wellbeing differently, and what skillsets it takes to work within and for the benefit of diverse local communities.

    Course Outline

    This program is delivered over 3 years at full time.

    Year 1

    Your studies begin with a basic grounding in the way we model and understand health and wellbeing, and especially the ways different models work better with different groups. You’ll also look at the ways social policy is used to promote different kinds of health and wellbeing.

    Year 2

    In your second year you’ll look at the ways England responds to public health issues and opportunities. You’ll see how public health promotions succeed and how they fail. You’ll also undertake several field trips to gather public health data and assess attitudes directly.

    Year 3

    In your third and final year you’ll look at public health issues facing humanity on a global scale. These will include disease, mental health and other near-universal challenges. You’ll also undertake an extensive research project on a health and wellbeing-related topic of your choice.

    Learning & Teaching

    This program is delivered in a series of fairly traditionally structured modules. Each will make use of teaching methods like large scale lecture classes, seminars of only 15-20 students at a time and highly interactive tutorials involving groups of 10 or less. As this is typically only a part of a combined BA degree, you’ll have roughly 6 hours of Health and Wellbeing oriented contact time each week.

    Career Possiblities

    The health and Social Care industries are changing rapidly. More employers enter the UK market for these services every year, and most of them are eager to snap up new graduates with Health and Wellbeing training. Recent graduates have found roles providing health services to particular groups such as young people or the elderly, providing occupational health and wellbeing services, or working on public-facing health, housing or community oriented projects.

    Entry Credit

    Applicants must typically have achieved 3 A Levels at BBC or higher. International qualifications are also accepted, and can be found here.

    International students must be fluent in written and spoken English. This can be demonstrated by an IELTS score of 6.0 or better overall, 6.0 in reading and writing, and with no other sub-section scoring less than 5.5.
