The postgraduate programme in Health Research is designed for those who want to refine their understanding, evaluation, audit and research skills in the broad domains of health, illness and disability.
With its flexible structure, online delivery and specialised pathway options - taught by some of the leading academics in each field - the programme will be of particular interest to professionals working in the health and disability services and in the related fields of health and social welfare across both national and international contexts.
The programme will provide you with guidance related to your chosen pathway of study as well as both generic and pathway-specific training in qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Pathways
Health Research – this offers the opportunity for you to develop and deepen your understanding of health research. You can explore the implications of these ideas for research, theory, policy, and practice.
Disability Studies – this offers the opportunity for you to develop and deepen your understanding of the ‘radical’ social interpretations of disability offered by disability studies in the UK, and to explore the implications of these ideas for research, theory, policy and practice.
End of Life Care – this pathway will help you develop a critical orientation and a portfolio of skills relating to research and evaluation in end of life care both locally and globally.
Intellectual Disability – this pathway will equip you with essential knowledge and skills to undertake high quality research relevant to the life experiences of people with intellectual disabilities.
Public Health – this pathway contributes to the development of a rigorous and innovative social science foundation for public health policy and practice. Topics include health protection, health promotion, social inequalities in health, health impact assessment and public health policy.
