Health and Wellbeing MSc

Good health and wellbeing are increasingly becoming a focus for governments, policy makers and researchers, as we face diverse and multifaceted challenges in the 21st century, and careers in health and wellbeing are growth areas in our economy.

In our course, you’ll evaluate the modern health and wellbeing challenges through a multidisciplinary lens and explore interdisciplinary, systemic, and community-engaged solutions.

It is imperative that health and wellbeing policies and practices, founded on evidence-based research, are developed to grow and support health and wellbeing in ways that are fit for purpose and sustainable. Our course has a strong focus on the application of research and evaluation methods to critique the health and wellbeing practices available for individuals, communities and societies.

You’ll be introduced to a broad and diverse range of concepts, including the impact of social prescribing on individuals and communities, global approaches to healthcare, health inequalities and health promotion, resilience building, and professional relationships and leadership in the sector. You’ll be encouraged to explore and generate transformative solutions to resolve challenges and develop critical responses to existing practices in these areas.

You’ll develop the professional skills and attributes needed to review, design, and lead research projects that evaluate aspects of integrative health and wellbeing.

Student diversity is welcomed, embraced and supported on this course and is considered to be a key strength for the future development of graduates that are able to meet diverse challenges in health.

On completion of our course, you’ll have a range of interpersonal skills including leadership, facilitation, reflective and supervisory practice. You’ll be able to apply wellbeing and resilience interventions which are key skills for professional leaders in health and industry.
