UK universities are leaders in the area of professional healthcare education, working in close collaboration with healthcare providers and employers to develop courses that help you become a fully qualified healthcare professional. Healthcare and health science covers a wide range of careers and professions within the medical and science industry, including medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacology, optometry, plus many more.
Students studying a healthcare degree will have access to high-technology medical equipment to practice working in a simulated environment. Modules will enable you to advance your knowledge in relation to a range of theories and concepts which underpin the delivery of high quality and safe healthcare. Healthcare science courses combine state-of-the-art healthcare methodologies with relevant physiological and/or life science approaches in order to examine the effective management of the wellbeing and health of individuals and/or groups of people with a healthcare need.
You will receive a thorough grounding in the scientific foundations of health, illness, and healthcare and will be taught the most up-to-date concepts in healthcare research methodology and data analysis. Foundation and top-up courses are also available for healthcare students who are qualified outside the UK and wish to top-up their existing qualifications to a degree.
Students who have successfully undertaken health studies degrees in the UK often secure employment within the public and private healthcare sectors, as well as undertaking teaching and research roles.
Entry requirements for health studies degrees vary greatly, but students will generally always require experience in science-related subjects such as chemistry and biology.
As healthcare study and its allied subjects often have limited spaces available, entry can be competitive, especially for medicine and dentistry programmes. Applicants who meet entry requirements will also be required to undertake an interview to receive an offer of a place on a course successfully.
Please note that entry requirements vary for each UK university.
