Healthcare Education and Clinical Leadership MSc : Course features

What this course offers you

The Healthcare Education and Clinical Leadership MSc is structured around learning within your workplace. You define, with your employer and Kingston University, a strategic problem and a personal development plan or 'learning contract'. This reflects your current role and any anticipated developments within your organisation.
You then complete work-based tasks, which we regularly assess and which lead to an MSc. You also undertake some taught modules, relevant to all healthcare settings, alongside the work-based assignments.
This method of part-time learning offers maximum flexibility and helps you fit your studies around other commitments.
You also have the chance to explore an area of interest in greater depth through your research paper.
The Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences is a unique partnership between Kingston University and St George's, University of London. This means that you benefit from the expertise and facilities of two complementary institutions:
