INTRODUCTION The Department of Applied Health and Social Care would like to welcome you as a student to the Faculty of Health and Social Care. We hope that you will enjoy your chosen degree in Support for Families and Communities. Over the course of your degree programme, for some modules you will study alongside fellow students on other programmes such as Protecting Children and Young People at Risk. The aim of this programme handbook is to provide an introduction to academic study and this three year undergraduate degree. The handbook is designed to provide you with all the information you need to understand the programme structure, organisation, management, assessment, progression, teaching and learning resources as well as academic and pastoral support. In addition, you will be provided with a module handbook for each individual module you study, which contains information relevant to that particular module, outlining the aims, learning outcomes, content, assessment and timetable details. It is important that you read and familiarise yourself with the contents of this handbook, as it contains important information about the University, support services and your programme of study.
