Health and Social Care (Taught)

In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide.

If you're a healthcare professional looking for flexible postgraduate study that fits in with your busy working schedule, our MSc, PgDip or PgCert in Health and Social Care can support you in learning more about your specific areas of interest in bite-size amounts.

This course is designed to help you identify and lead your own professional development for your health or social care career. The modular structure of the University of Greater Manchester’s postgraduate programmes in Health and Social Care allows you to personalise your programme to your specific interests, working on a module-by-module basis for maximum flexibility.

Studying the theory of your chosen subjects, you'll have the opportunity to develop a broader awareness of current issues in health and social care practice. You'll research themes in-depth, develop evidence-based concepts and have the chance to work in our advanced Clinical Simulation Suites. Alongside your core studies, you'll also be able to focus on developing transferable skills such as problem-solving, leadership and teamwork, and build your abilities in information and communication technology.

The course aims to help you achieve your potential and enjoy your work. By encouraging you to reflect on your performance and take charge of your own development, we aim to help you advance your health and social care career.
