Health and Social Care BSc (Hons) BSc (Hons)

Simulation

We use immersive and simulated learning environments to help our learners develop their practice, knowledge and skills. Simulation and immersive learning  provide artificial, digitally created content and environments that accurately replicate real-life scenarios so that new skills and techniques can be learned and accomplished.

Learners actively engage on these scenarios to solve problems within a realistic and controlled environment, in a risk-free and safe space where learning can be repeated and success can be accurately measured.

You will also have the opportunity to learn safely through simulated and immersive environments in our fully equipped skills labs and develop new knowledge and skills such as Basic Life Support, A to E assessments, etc.

We have a fantastic immersive suite, designed to provide a visually engaging experience for our learners, using equipment such as video walls to fully immerse you into different virtual/simulated environments such as in the hospital ward, road traffic accident or a home visit etc. We also have a fully equipped Community house, which we can use for role plays, case study scenarios.

You will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops. Seminars enable you to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller groups of around 8-10 students. In addition, you will have timetabled meetings with your personal tutor at least twice a year. You will be taught in first-class learning spaces throughout your course. Many of our courses are accredited or recognised by professional, statutory or regulatory bodies.

When not attending lectures, seminars or other timetabled sessions, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. Typically, this will involve utilising a range of digital resources including our virtual learning environment; reading journals, articles and books; working on individual and group projects; undertaking research in the library; preparing coursework assignments and presentations, and preparing for examinations. Your independent learning will be supported by a range of excellent facilities. These include the library, open access computer facilities, informal learning zones, a range of laboratories and performance and studio spaces.
