If you are starting your career in health and social care, or are already employed in the sector, having a full Honours degree will demonstrate high-level skills and boost or advance your employability. You will be able to seek work in a variety of public and private sector contexts, with the possibility of supervisory or managerial responsibilities.

Alternatively, you may choose to continue your education and study for a postgraduate or professional qualification, which could also be undertaken whilst you work.
