    Course Summary

    The healthcare industry needs to make big changes to meet the needs of people everywhere. A Master’s degree in Healthcare Management from Northumbria University will give you the skills and background knowledge you need to take a responsible role in one of the UK’s largest industries. More importantly, it will give you the expertise you need to help that industry make real, sustained changes.

    • You’ll study the challenges the healthcare sector faces at the global, national and local levels.
    • You’ll become part of a diverse, multicultural cohort of students.
    • You’ll learn from true experts in their fields. You’ll gain several new perspectives on healthcare provision, and be able to use these to inform your professional practice in ways you never expected.

    This program can be taken in three different modes – a 12 month intensive mode, an 18 month (less intensive) full time mode with a January start date or a 28-month part-time mode designed for those already working.

Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    No matter whether you take this program intensively, at full-time or part-time, you’ll take the same 5 core modules and dissertation module.

    Core modules include:

    • Research: Approaches, Methods and skills
    • Strategic Management of Healthcare
    • Managing health improvement through social marketing
    • Leadership and Collaborative Working in Public Health and Healthcare
    • Developing management and leadership competencies in Healthcare

    The dissertation is presented as a sixth core module, worth a full 60 credits. This will be conducted on a subject of your choice. This should be selected to align with your interests and intended career track, and you will be allocated a personal dissertation supervisor to give you advice and any support you need.

    In addition there is an optional, non-credited module called Academic Language Skills in Health. This is designed to help boost your high level technical English language skills, and is perfect for overseas students or anyone who might need a refresher.

    Learning & Teaching

    The teaching methods will vary a bit depending on whether this is taken as a 12, 18 or 28 month degree. However, all taught modules will rely primarily on lectures, seminars and interactive tutorial sessions to convey their content. There will be a high percentage of self-directed learning, and you will be encouraged to develop your critical thinking and reflective writing skills in a supportive peer environment.

Alternatively, you might pursue your PhD or a career in teaching or research. You can get career support and professional skills training from the university, even after you graduate.
