Sector employers helped shape Anglia Ruskin University in London’s BSc (Hons) Health and Social Care with Foundation, so classroom skills track what care organisations say they need. Lecturers bring practice experience, and London’s dense mix of NHS and private providers is part of the study context. You can pick a standard two-day daytime campus week (10:00–17:00) or Tuesday and Thursday evenings plus Saturday daytime. The foundation year and a currently listed January 2027 intake give mature UK students a clear start date to plan around. AF Education supports England-resident applicants with free help on finance and applications.

Entry routes for mature students
The foundation year is included for applicants who need a preparatory undergraduate stage. AF Education will confirm Anglia Ruskin University in London’s current entry evidence for your circumstances.

Career and progression
Employer involvement in course design is intended to align modules with care planning, communication and service skills used in the sector. Graduates often move into support, coordination or further specialist study; regulated roles need separate qualifications. AF Education does not guarantee jobs.
