Master of Science - Health and Public Service Management

The MSc Health and Public Service Management course has been designed for professionals working in healthcare organizations in the public, private and voluntary sectors. USW has a long tradition of providing high quality healthcare management courses and has successfully delivered similar postgraduate programmes for over 20 years.

During the MSc Health and Public Service Management, learners will examine the challenges facing healthcare and related public service areas, making strong links between academic theory and management practice to create a relevant context. Students will also specialize in a key area through their chosen dissertation topic.

Full-time study involves completing the six taught modules and a dissertation over one full academic year. Students will be taught through a combination of lectures and seminars. Leaders from the public sector are regularly invited to deliver guest lectures on topics embedded within the course, so that learners will benefit from their wealth of experience.

The studies will help develop and refine students' management techniques in the context of the healthcare sector. Therefore, upon graduation, students will be equipped with a broad management skill-set that can be applied throughout a range of public services but will also enable them to specialize in a healthcare profession.
