Overview

Health Studies is an area of fast growing interest and importance, both academically and vocationally: it deals with 'real world' concerns.

Health and social care issues are some of the most hotly debated issues of our time. At Bath Spa University we concentrate on various concepts of health and explore the relationships between individuals' lifestyle choices and more general social / economic factors. We also examine the causes and consequences of the different ways that 'care' is delivered and how this is driven by policy concerns.
