Management and Leadership in Health and Social Care (Top-Up)
Gain the skills to manage and lead teams in health and social care - and top-up your existing qualification to a full degree.
It's possible to study this course part-time. You'll take the same modules as BSc/BA (Hons) students, but sometimes in a different order or in different years.
As a part-time student you'll typically study for twice as long as full-time students; for example if the BSc/BA (Hons) course takes three years, you can expect to study over six years, though for some courses the part-time length may differ.
Study by distance learning and build your ability to work as an effective team leader, in settings involving people from different disciplines and agencies.
You’ll explore the latest policy developments in health and social care, strategic management, workplace change, and ways that service users’ views can be represented. You'll also carry out research on a topic that’s relevant to you.
The course is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), so you’ll graduate with a recognised professional qualification.
