Health Care and Social Work
A career in health and social care, or social work, is not only rewarding but also deeply impactful. No two days are ever the same, and every day offers the chance to make a real difference in someone’s life. By supporting individuals to live independently and with dignity, you'll find purpose and fulfilment in your work.
At BNU, our courses are designed to equip you with the specialist knowledge and practical skills needed to thrive in this essential sector. You'll explore current trends and policies, develop your ability to analyse and evaluate complex situations, and gain the tools to make a positive impact - whatever your chosen career path.
We take a different approach to teaching. With manageable lecturer-to-student ratios, we’re able to offer personalised support and flexible teaching methods tailored to your learning style. Whether you're entering the field or building on existing experience, we structure learning around your current or future employment needs.

We’ve developed strong partnerships with local NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations, creating excellent placement opportunities that enhance your real-world learning.
You’ll benefit from our passionate academic staff - many of whom are experienced practitioners and leaders in the sector.
