MBA Essentials

MSc in Health and Social Care Management

Overview

If you’re hoping to achieve a managerial role in health services, studying a degree in healthcare management can prove to be a useful step toward achieving your aspirations, especially if you’re already working in the sector and hoping to take your career to the next level.

Many people in the UK and throughout the world rely on the healthcare sector, and many health services are always on the lookout for people to fill roles during times when qualified staff members are hard to come by.

A healthcare management degree will prepare you for additional “behind-the-scenes” jobs, such as financial control and budgeting, quality control, communication, and team leadership.

According to the National Careers Service, the starting salary for a practice manager lies between £22,500 and £26,500. Those with several years’ experience can expect to earn anything up to £48,500, while those with extensive experience could earn up to £100,500.

What could this qualification lead to?

Some of the roles you could work towards with a healthcare management degree include:

  • Practice manager
  • Ward manager
  • Quality manager
  • Community care manager
  • Project management
