Master of Science - MSc (PG)
Summary
If you are working, or aspiring to work, in a position of influence across the wider health and social care community, this MSc is for you. The programme is targeted at aspiring 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.
Three specialist pathways are available which enable you to tailor the programme to meet your individual needs:
-
MSc Leadership Development (Clinical Leadership) is ideal if you work as a clinician and wish to focus on clinical leadership
-
MSc Leadership Development (Leadership and Management) is for those who are working, or aspire to work, in a leadership or management role
-
MSc Leadership Development (Medical Leadership and Management) is suitable for doctors, offering bespoke modules which provide a medical content and a business focus.
What you'll study
The programme will be delivered through lead lectures, workshops, seminars, master classes, Action Learning Sets, group work and critical debates to provide a framework to underpin the development of critical thinking and sharing in the learning process. The approach will be flexible – blended learning based on a hybrid model of in-person and online synchronous (real-time) delivery. This means that you can attend the programme in-person or through distance learning online.
The aim across all pathways is to promote a values-driven, compassionate, inclusive and authentic approach to leadership and to develop effective change agents who are able to improve the quality of care. Throughout each pathway, reflection will be applied to determine the type of leader you are, the type of leader you aspire to be (and why), and the action that will be taken to further your leadership development. This will be supported by group work, debate, action learning sets, coaching, self-awareness tools, work shadowing opportunities, master-classes, coaching and student-led seminars. The aim is to create a learning community conducive to critical reflection.
The attendance is typically daytime, approximately three hours per week or six hours every other week, per module, however some modules incorporate additional online units of study. In addition we provide work shadowing and one-to-one coaching opportunities. The method of study can be flexible, blended learning based on a hybrid model of in-person and online study. The programme can be studied entirely online if required.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | To join this MSc you should ideally have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honours (2:2 or above) in a health or social care related subject, although other subjects may be considered. If you are in full-time employment and have a minimum of five years’ experience working within health and social care, you may be able to access the course without a degree if you are able to demonstrate evidence of continuous professional development. An interview forms part of the selection process. |
