Each student on this course is able to create their own unique set of modules associated with health, health care and applied social science to make up the Health MSc.
At the start of the course you will consult with the course leader, and complete a s.w.o.t. analysis alongside using the university's studentprofile system enabling you to review your current achievements and highlight areas for further development. On this basis a tailored choice of modules from the Graduate Programme in Health and Social Science is created that will suit your professional, academic and personal aspirations.

Course structure
This course can be studied either full- or part-time and the modules are delivered at different times throughout the year. Each module has approximately 30 hours lecturer contact and approximately 170 hours of individual study. Individual modules employ varying learning and teaching strategies.
For UK-qualified nurses there is an opportunity to undertake a period of study in another health care setting in one of 14 European countries via the European Nursing Network.
Areas of study
All students take a core research-related module, from a selection of four titles. These are offered on different campuses and also online so that a range of student needs are met.
Current students are from range of backgrounds and choose an academic route that facilitates their professional and personal development. For example, a health professional may decide to study a range of clinical modules but a student from a social care background may choose a range of social and health-focused modules.
The dissertation project is an exciting element to this course and again is guided by your career route or employer requirements. This is the opportunity for you to consolidate the transferable masters-level skills gained from the taught modules which include analysing and interpreting data from a range of sources, demonstrating initiative, evaluating and problem solving, developing research skills and project management skills in order to produce a science-based project appropriate to your chosen pathway.
