This course equips you with the essential skills and knowledge to support those who need it most. Prepare for a rewarding career in education, health, or social care, where you will gain practical experience and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by vulnerable children and their families today.

Our degree will provide you with valuable insights in the world of vulnerable children and families in the UK today. You will explore these from the perspective of psychology, education, public health, and social work. This will equip you with the skills required for employability or further study in these fields and especially in educational settings which often form the nexus for these challenges.

You will build a basic knowledge in year one, through to more complex theories and problem solving in real world scenarios into year three, with a specific focus on working with children and families to address quality of life and opportunity. As you progress, you will move from foundational learning to advanced theories and practical problem-solving, gaining hands-on experience in environments where child development and family support are central.

This course is taught across the Greenwich and Avery Hill campuses. Students can use the free inter-campus bus to travel between locations.
