An ageing population and limited resources are putting pressure on healthcare systems. To be ready for the future, we need to change how healthcare teams care for communities.

Our MSc Professional Development in Health and Social Care is for professionals who want to become leaders in their field. At the same time, you’ll be keen to maintain clinical or professional practice and explore factors impacting health. Perhaps you want to carry out research. Or maybe you want to know how to use the evidence to inform practice.

You’ll pick one of two pathways: structured and unstructured. We’ll help you decide which is right for you, but the structured pathway will be a good fit if you haven’t studied at master’s level before.

The unstructured pathway is for students who want to build on their professional development. Pick modules from across the Faculty of Health and Life Science and choose the degree title you graduate with. It may even be possible to build up study credit from elsewhere to a full master’s degree.
