Course info
The MSc Community Health programme provides a framework by which health professionals can undertake postgraduate study, which is of direct relevance to the development and delivery of community health services. Recent changes in policy have influenced the services provided in community settings. Theory and practice combine in the Community Health programme to equip health professionals to deal with these extensive challenges. The Community Health pathway provides entrants who already have a Community Nursing qualification (or an equivalent professional qualification) with the opportunity to undertake postgraduate study, which will enhance their knowledge and understanding of the development and delivery of community health services. There are several pathways, amongst which include specialising in: Mental Health; Children's Health; Hone Nursing; Research; and Management.
