This degree examines the science behind health. From individual health to global issues like epidemics or the treatment of dementia. You’ll study scientific concepts that underpin the function of the human mind and body. Explore the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of disease and disability. And examine the maintenance and improvement of health in different populations. It’s particularly relevant if you work in, or aspire to work in, a health-related profession.
There are no formal qualifications required to study this degree. Computer and internet access required.
If you’re new to study or to the OU, we recommend that you start with a course at Level 1.
