Take the next step in your health and social care career by completing a postgraduate top-up and achieving a full master’s degree. The MSc Health and Care Management (Top-Up) is designed for those who already hold relevant postgraduate credits and wish to progress by completing a single, in-depth research module. This qualification can support career development, open pathways to senior or management positions, and broaden your employment prospects across the health and social care sector.

The programme enables you to build on your prior studies by exploring key challenges within health and social care settings. You will develop advanced capabilities essential for senior-level roles, including critical problem evaluation, project design and delivery, planning and implementation strategies, risk assessment, and effective leadership.

Beyond professional advancement, this top-up also supports those with academic ambitions. You will bring together and apply knowledge gained from earlier postgraduate study within a structured research project, strengthening your research and methodological skills. This experience provides a strong foundation for future academic work, such as research publication or progression to doctoral study.
