Meet our HEALTH & SOCIAL SECTOR LEADERSHIP students

 

MA (Hons) Health & Social Sector Leadership

Learn about the systems that shape our society and develop skills to influence policy, make a difference in your community, and lead change in the future. This degree empowers you with the knowledge and confidence to think critically and identify key challenges in the health and social sectors.

Extensive interaction with practitioners and academics is at the core of this programme, thanks to our small class sizes and excellent links to employers in the NHS, local government and third sector. Graduates with a 2:1 or above may be eligible for the Future Leaders scheme, a year’s employment in a graduate-level role with local NHS, council and third sector partners.
