The Health & Social Care Leadership & Management Dissertation module offers an opportunity for in-depth, independent research. Scheduled in the spring, summer, and autumn semesters on Friday afternoons, this core module is worth 60 credits. It allows you to explore a researchable issue in leadership and management within the health and social care sector. The dissertations are designed to be completed after the modules are taught, where you'll apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the course. This project lets you reflect on your learning and critically examine the leadership and management issues studied, culminating in a substantive study. You'll plan and set your research roadmap for the semester before starting the dissertation with the prior completion of SH7008 Research Methods in Health and Social Care. The work may involve literature reviews or original research utilizing theoretical and practical knowledge. Your dissertation supervisor will provide guidance to ensure success. Self-motivation, planning, and the ability to work independently are essential.
