Postgraduate Health courses at Bournemouth University,

Working and thriving within the dynamic environment of healthcare requires opportunities to evolve and to develop your learning over the course of your career. As a lifelong learner, this can be achieved through continuous professional development (CPD).

Bournemouth University offer a number of taught Master’s courses, as well as Master’s by Research degrees and PhDs in healthcare, for students to explore a research area of their choice under the guidance of an experienced supervisory team and with opportunities to work closely with the well-established research centres and institutes within the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences.

Undertaking a part-time PhD and studying on top of a busy clinical position is a challenge. Stepping away from practice to study full-time also brings significant challenges, such as loss of clinical skills. Bournemouth University offer a pragmatic solution: a four-year clinical doctorate so employees remain in practice and conduct a piece of research to meet clinical priorities.

Bournemouth University understand the importance of bringing together education, professional practice and research. Bournemouth University work closely with a wide range of healthcare partners to ensure that research helps to improve an understanding and provision of healthcare and shape future healthcare services.
