Undergraduate Credit Housing

The University of Wolverhampton prides itself on developing strong, constructive rapport between students and staff, a factor which enforces delivery of informed, effective teaching. To this end, classroom-based learning with face-to-face discussions and activities alongside online teaching content, complement core knowledge with valuable experience. Lecturers are informed through practice and research in housing and social care, which students are encouraged to mirror through taking research opportunities in the University and the wider community, drawing upon sector connections and on-campus careers services, such as The Workplace.

You will be encouraged to examine your roles and responsibilities, working within legal and regulatory frameworks based on developed subject knowledge and research. You will apply the theory of relevant legal, regulatory and policy frameworks in the housing and social care sectors to an individually developed case study in the sectors, demonstrating your ability to articulate application of theory to practice in written form which reflects work-related examples.

Each short course will offer the opportunity to learn from lecturers who have extensive experience of working in a range of contexts within the sector.

By studying this course you will develop confidence to:

• examine your own roles and responsibilities working within legal and regulatory frameworks in work-related contexts
• appreciate and scrutinise the complex and diverse nature of regulatory frameworks in the housing and social care sector
• apply legal, regulatory and policy frameworks to an individually developed case-study example in the housing and social care sector
• articulate in writing the application of theory to practice in work related examples.

All applicants aged 18 and above are welcome, with participants from a wide range of educational backgrounds. Please contact our admission team to further discuss your place on the course by emailing: admissions@wlv.ac.uk
