Overview

The Education and Social Services (Hons) degree from the University of Strathclyde aims to prepare you for working in settings which combine health education and social work/social care. You’ll enter college at Diploma of Higher Education level, having first studied a relevant HNC. You’ll then go on to Year 3 at Strathclyde to study for the BA.

The Education & Social Services (BA) responds to the Scottish Government’s aspiration for different services to communicate more effectively and to work in a more integrated way to meet the service-user needs of children, young people and adults. A major aim of the degree is to develop the leadership qualities and skills required for this challenge.

Careers

The BA is recognised by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) for registration in supervisory roles in adult social care. Our graduates are well-equipped to work within, and eventually lead, integrated services across the education, health and social care sector. The degree also gives you eligibility to apply for postgraduate training in areas such as social work, community education, childhood practice and primary teaching.
