Combined Honours Programmes
Health Promotion, Health Services Management and Public Health (Major, Joint and Minor)
Campus: Stratford
Why Study Health as part of a Combined Honours Degree?
You can study subjects in health for interest as well as career progression - perhaps even for both. All four programmes draw on the changing health agenda. Health is the largest employer in the UK and the government is committed to expanding the service over the next few years. Many students are attracted to programmes in this area because of a personal interest in health issues.
Health Promotion
The Health Promotion course examines health inequalities and includes social and cultural influences as well as more personal and individual factors which contribute to health levels.
Health Services Management
The Health Services Management pathway offers units in the management of health care.
Public Health
The Public Health Programme looks to examine subjects which impact on the quality of health. The programme of Public Health seeks to recognise the importance of creating supporting social, physical and cultural environments for health.
What will I study?
Your selection of a programme i.e. Health Studies, Health Services Management, Health Promotion or Public Health will offer you a number of pre-selected units to reflect your interest. There are other themes which run through the programme i.e. research. Evaluating the impact of a particular health programmes will produce a more effective health service. Research is therefore an important health skill. Developing yourself is a strong theme of the programme - being able to secure job skills e.g. communication, working with others and IT familiarity will be part of your personal development.

Can I study a Combined Honours Programme as a Part-time degree?
All our Combined Honours Programmes can be studied on a Part-time or Full-time basis. As a Part-time student, you will study the same degree programme, but at a slower pace. You will study up to 4 modules per year (instead of 6 as a full-time student).
What career opportunities are open to me if I study Health?
The National Health Services employs over one million people. There are many career opportunities within such a large organisation. Traditional skill profiles are now being examined within the NHS to see if they best meet patients needs. The Government is planning to greatly expand the NHS and first line health workers will have an important part in this expansion. In addition to the NHS there is a growing pattern of care with the voluntary and private sector.
Will I be eligible for any Professional Exemptions?
The Health Services Management Degree is recognised by the
"Institute for Healthcare Management" and offers student
membership as well as full membership on passing the degree.
