Policing in the School of Health & Society

Our School of Health & Society is one of the largest providers of nursing, midwifery, allied health, counselling & psychotherapy and social work education programmes in the UK.  We’re proud of our track record of collaboration with a wide range of industry partners to produce highly skilled graduates with real work experience.
