MSc Social Care, Health and Wellbeing

University of Greater Manchester

The one-year MSc Social Care, Health and Wellbeing develops advanced understanding of the health and social care sector, including equality, diversity, integration and collaboration. Specialist modules broaden awareness of current and emerging practice issues while strengthening critical and evaluative skills. Delivery is full-time online. Standard entry usually asks for a relevant honours degree, with experience routes where the degree subject differs. Equality, diversity and collaboration themes distinguish this master’s from purely clinical or counselling postgraduate routes. Removing weekly campus travel is the practical advantage of this full-time online social care and wellbeing master’s structure. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with a Postgraduate Master’s Loan from Student Finance England.
