Health Care

Programme Details

The philosophy underpinning the Masters in Health Care at The University of Glasgow reflects the need for tomorrow’s health care professional to be involved in lifelong learning whilst being adaptive to the dynamic care environment and supporting quality care delivery.  The programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, expertise in critical appraisal, develop transferable skills and have the ability to lead and innovate in the advancement of practice.

This programme meets the demand for the preparation of both specialist and extended role practitioners. The themes offered link closely with the pre-registration undergraduate programme offered at the University as well as being developed in conjunction with local clinical need to address the growing number of graduate nurses looking to be educated at Masters level, namely those wishing to work in clinical leadership or extended roles in clinical practice as nurse practitioners or consultant nurses.
