This programme is designed to enable you to further develop your knowledge of current health care at the depth and breadth appropriate to Masters level work. In planning the programme and its delivery, we have sought to create a student-centred, flexible programme that enables you to select modules that meet your individual learning needs, career aspirations and interests.
The scope and flexibility of the programme will appeal to individuals with a theoretical interest in health-related issues, and is particularly suited to those who are seeking a non-clinical programme of study. The programme is open to health care professionals or individuals with an interest in health.

* Take responsibility for your own continuing professional development and demonstrate enhanced skills of self-appraisal, self-assessment and independence in your approach to learning
* Evaluate critically the dimensions of practice and organisation that characterise contemporary health care
* Examine critically the nature of multidisciplinary and interprofessional working in health care
* Formulate a justifiable research design, conduct an investigation and to produce a written report, worthy of academic scrutiny
The Health Studies Masters programme offers you:
* Flexible study which can be organised around your other commitments
