Description Contents Requirements

The MSc Health Studies is a an advanced, flexible programme with core modules in research and work-based learning and a range of optional modules designed to enrich your learning.

This programme has been constructed to offer flexibility to students who wish to study at Masters level within the sphere of their professional role; a selected area of specific practice; or both. The provision of Masters-level education within the Faculty of Health and Social Care is focused around a single framework, which contains core modules that all students aiming to achieve the award of Master of Science must undertake in addition to self-selected, discipline-specific modules of study. The route through the programme to final award will be discussed and agreed with the framework lead and, where appropriate, the academic theme lead for discipline-specific areas of study.

The single-framework structure enables greater continuity and equity in pursuit of the Masters-level award. It ensures all students acquire the necessary knowledge and skills at the forefront of their discipline irrespective of their specific area of focus.

The core modules within this programme are available via a blended approach to learning made up of face-to-face sessions and online learning opportunities, or via a more online-focused delivery to ensure maximum flexibility for our students. A range of discipline-specific modules is also available via these approaches and should be discussed with the relevant academic theme lead.

The distinctive features of this programme include

Opportunities for you to tailor the programme to your needs
High degree of relevance to practice
Scope to enable learning across professional boundaries
Clear integration of theory and practice through the production of work-related assignments
A flexible nature, allowing study around work and life commitments
