Master of Science - Healthcare Management

This innovative course is designed for graduates who have, or aspire to, a management role in health and social care. The programme will prepare students to work effectively within the complex and rapidly evolving environments of health and social care, and provide the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills within a broad international context. The MSc Healthcare Management programme is distinctive in that it offers modules from the Business School and the School of Health and Social Care. A particular feature is the opportunity to learn on campus with students from Scotland, across Europe and around the world. On completion of the programme students already working in healthcare have attained promotion or commenced further study at PhD level. Others have taken the programme as a stepping stone to healthcare management positions in their home country. Learning, teaching and assessment methods focus on providing students with engaging and contemporary learning materials that relate to practice and theory and challenge students to take a critical perspective on both. While the assessment methods used are varied, they all have direct relevance to the world of work.
