MSc Leadership in Health & Social Care

The University welcomes applications from all potential students, and offers are made following detailed consideration of each individual application.

The decision to offer a place is based on our assessment of a candidate’s potential to benefit from their studies and of their ability to succeed on this particular programme. Whilst you will normally hold a first degree or professional qualification we will consider your application if you do not possess such a qualification but have appropriate health and social care work experience.

Work experience of at least one year in a health and social care-related environment - this experience must be detailed in the application. Applicants are required to provide information, as part of their application, to detail how this experience has prepared them for study on this programme. Stronger applications will be those that include some thought as to how the programme will help the applicant reach their specific career goals.

The programme is targeted at aspiring international healthcare professionals who wish to apply for leadership and management positions within health and social care, as well as those already working as allied health professionals, clinical scientists, nurses or doctors.

The course is also suitable for those working in a variety of non-clinical roles, for example, commissioners, quality improvement managers, clinical auditors, risk management, team leaders, social workers, patient advocates, or in the voluntary sector.

This course has enabled previous graduates to go on to more senior roles within their organisations, as well as secondments to national bodies.
