If you are working, or aspiring to work, in a position of influence across the wider health and social care community, this MSc is for you. This programme is delivered through a flexible, blended learning model. A mixture of in-person and online study, or entirely online study, is available. The programme is targeted at aspiring healthcare professionals who wish to apply for leadership and management positions within health and social care, as well as those already working as allied health professionals, clinical scientists, nurses or doctors. The course is also suitable for those working in a variety of non-clinical roles, for example commissioners, quality improvement managers, clinical auditors, risk management, team leaders, social workers, patient advocates, or in the voluntary sector.

  • MSc Leadership Development (Clinical Leadership) is ideal if you work as a clinician and wish to focus on clinical leadership
  • MSc Leadership Development (Leadership and Management) is for those who are working, or aspire to work, in a leadership or management role
