This programme aims to develop compassionate & inclusive senior leaders at all levels for local and international learners. It will equip senior leaders to tackle inequalities in services; become key decision-makers and to develop behaviours that will support a culture of learning. Graduates will be able to apply their skills and behaviours to a work setting and become central to setting and implementing change to address health inequalities, improve health and care services and embracing a collective responsibility for the sustainable use of resources.
Our overall philosophy is to develop leaders by focusing on the systems around the leader, the healthcare strategy and individual leadership skills. This will form the first half of the programme. The second half will focus on the practical application of the knowledge and skills; linking this to active research to inform leaders behaviours and strategies.
We welcome applications for our MSc Leadership in Health and Care from the UK and around the world. Our programme is on-campus only for 12 months full-time. No DBS is required to participate in this innovative programme.
We will consider applicants with a 2:2 honours degree, or international equivalent, in a medical, health, social care or social sciences discipline. Applicants with a 3rd class degree, or a 2:2 degree in any other discipline, will be considered where they can demonstrate at least 1 year's relevant experience in the field of health policy and systems, or in the development sector working on health and care issues, or in a healthcare setting. This will be assessed based on information provided at the application stage (for example, in a CV, reference, or other proofs of employment).
