Institute of Health and Society

Health and Society courses

The Institute of Health and Society currently offers over 35 different courses. The breadth of our research affords us expertise in a range of areas, from nursing to midwifery, substance misuse to mental health, and psychology to young people’s services.

If you have diverse interests, our innovative modular scheme allows you to select combinations of subjects not already covered by the more specific degree courses. If your interests also include subjects outside the realm of health and society, you can choose optional modules from other Institutes.
