The BSc (Hons) Public Health and Health Promotion top-up course has been developed to meet the needs of students looking to progress on to a full honours degree in the field, following success on an appropriate Level 5 programme (such as a Foundation Degree). The top-up will involve you becoming ever more independent as learners and contains a variety of interesting taught modules such as Physical Activity and Health Wellbeing and Negotiated Workplace Learning; as well as requiring you to do a significant piece of research on your own, in preparation for your professional life in the future.

Welcome

Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) is the awarding institution for BSc (Hons) Public Health & Health Promotion. This means that even though you are studying at London School of Commerce, you are a student at Canterbury Christ Church University. This arrangement enables you to access a wide range of support from both institutions, although you will adhere to CCCU’s terms and conditions and academic regulations.

All students need to register with both London School of Commerce and Canterbury Christ Church University at the start of each new year of study.

During your studies, you will receive most of your support from London School of Commerce.

This learning and teaching experience aims to develop a range of qualities, knowledge and skills which will help students to foster their academic potential and prepare you for professional life. These strategies are designed to encourage students to develop as independent learners. Individual strategies will be appropriately chosen, bearing in mind factors such as the numbers of students undertaking a module. Modules will operate within inclusive, flexible and responsive learning environments in order to support students to develop the qualities, knowledge and skills outlined in the programme aims. Some modules will require students to visit a health setting within their local community (e.g. workplace, service or neighbourhood). These details are included in the module outlines and would not incur additional financial or time costs to the students outside of their expected attendance of the module.

The top up programme’s assessment strategy conforms to Canterbury Christ Church University’s Assessment Procedures. The assessment methods used within this top up aims to provide a wide range of possible methods for students to demonstrate and enhance their abilities. This includes a range of assessment strategies such as case studies, essays and poster presentations. We use a range of strategies to measure how successfully students meet the learning outcomes of the programme. This is to help enable students to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding, cognitive and subject-specific skills and graduate skills related to the learning outcomes of the programme.

  • Access to Library Search, which gives you access to thousands of e-books, e-journals and databases to help you in your studies.
