MSc in Applied Health Research Course Code: MSc--AHR

Location: Oxford Campus / Blended Learning

Start Date: Semester 1

The importance and value of research is recognised in the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan (NHS LTWP) (2023), with a need for a continuous approach to the development of staff skills, knowledge and expertise. This is vital to the provision of high-quality care, supporting, delivering and leading high- quality research, maintaining professional registration and ensuring staff have rewarding careers to recruit, retain and reform our health and care services. While research awareness is a compulsory component of all registered healthcare, social work and public health professional's initial education and training, this often does not prepare them well to integrate and engage with research practice.

This Applied Health Research programme has been designed to support students in developing knowledge and skills that enable them to begin integrating a research element into their existing role.
