Develop the attitudes, abilities and competencies needed to work in a health and social care environment, in the UK or internationally.

As a student at ARU London, you’ll learn from lecturers who have significant industry experience. We’ve involved employers from the healthcare sector in the design of our course, exploring the skill sets that employers are most interested in and ensuring they’re embedded within your learning.

London, which offers world-class private and public healthcare, boasts more than 90 NHS hospitals and a host of private hospitals and social care organisations, offering you unrivalled opportunities in the sector.

Campus facilities

As a student at ARU London you'll have access to:

• two campuses with PC-equipped study areas
• libraries including core texts and wider reading
• multiple study pods, perfect for group work or personal study.

Student support

You’ll be supported by:

• our Personal Development Tutor Scheme, which is your first point of contact for enquiries about your studies, with regular sessions on academic progression and development
• experienced wellbeing advisors and counsellors offering assistance with mental, physical, medical, and/or learning conditions
• learning resources that are available to all students. Learn, at different stages, the Microsoft Office suite, increasing your study and employability skills.

In the UK, the healthcare sector currently employs over 4 million people. With 18% growth projected, graduates who can demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of relevant business concepts and first-hand experience in the sector will be in great demand.

We also offer an MBA in Health and Social Care so that you can further your knowledge as a postgraduate student, and enhance your career options in one of the regulated professions such as social work, nursing or physiotherapy.

For students who do not meet the standard entry requirements for admission to one of our undergraduate degree courses, we offer the option of a four-year degree with foundation year.

The foundation year will help you gain the skills needed to succeed at degree-level study.

Modules focus on developing skills in writing assignments, mathematics, computing, public speaking and presenting. At the same time you’ll develop an understanding of the modern business world. You should expect to undertake significant amounts of reading and independent study outside of the classroom (approximately 12 hours per week during term time).

The foundation-year course may also suit you if you want a change in career, or are returning to education. Our innovative courses ensure that what you learn can be practically applied to the business world as well as preparing you to tackle the academic workload of a degree course.
