Today’s Social Care sector is rapidly changing and you need to be motivated and flexible to succeed.
The hallmark of the BA (Hons) in Applied Social Care is to provide the necessary theoretical foundations and interpersonal skills allied to the practical skills training essential to working in a Social Care environment. Such skills include manual handling, hygiene control and first aid and this training is provided in our purpose-built Social Care practice facility at DBS.
You will discover how practical, legal and social policy factors underpin the provision of service and you will also be challenged to think in a rigorous and critical way about management theory, social processes, institutions, policies and regulatory procedures, From the first to the final year of the programme there is a consistent emphasis on theory and practical skills that puts the client at the centre of all practice. This degree offers you the opportunity to put theory into practice over the course of two 400-hour practice placements in Years 2 and 3.
