An ageing population and limited resources are putting pressure on healthcare systems. To be ready for the future, we need to change how healthcare teams care for communities. Our MSc Professional Development in Health and Social Care is for professionals who want to become leaders in their field. At the same time, you’ll be keen to maintain clinical or professional practice and explore factors impacting health. Perhaps you want to carry out research. Or maybe you want to know how to use the evidence to inform practice. You’ll pick one of two pathways: structured and unstructured. We’ll help you decide which is right for you, but the structured pathway will be a good fit if you haven’t studied at master’s level before. The unstructured pathway is for students who want to build on their professional development. Pick modules from across the Faculty of Health and Life Science and choose the degree title you graduate with. It may even be possible to build up study credit from elsewhere to a full master’s degree.
Getting in
As the university states it
Entry normally requires a UK/EU first degree or equivalent overseas degree from a recognised institution. Subject to approval by Oxford Brookes University, equivalent professional or other qualifications applicable to health and social care can be considered under some circumstances, particularly if you are registered as a health or social care professional. Evidence of recent study (within the last 5 years) at degree or equivalent level is highly desirable. Students who do not hold a first UK/EU degree or equivalent overseas degree from a recognised institution (taken within the last 5 years) OR students who have not studied at degree or equivalent level within the last 5 years will be required to write and submit an assignment which will be taken into account as part of their application. Six months' experience as a student, employee or volunteer within the health / social care sector (European or International; public, private or voluntary) will normally be required.
