Teaching
We use a mix of lectures, seminars and workshops to ensure you gain high-quality, research-informed teaching by active researchers in the areas of management and leadership in health services.
You will study alongside a group of students from the UK and other nationalities, providing a mix of experiences and backgrounds that will augment your learning experience. Some units are taught with attending students from other ScHARR courses giving you the opportunity to meet and work with a wide range of participants.
All teaching takes place in high quality purpose-built accommodation in the School or in nearby buildings.
Assessment
Assessment is by means of a range of written assignments to include essays, short answers and more structured assessments. There are no unseen examinations at present.
Dissertation
The dissertation is worth 60 credits and allows you to produce a piece of original work integrating the content of the programme and relating it to a topic of your own choice.
