Why study health and social care management at ARU?
Anglia Ruskin University has a dedicated Faculty of Health, Medicine and Social Care, and this top-up is built for people who are already working. Much of the learning is work-based: you apply each module to your own team, service or organisation, so the degree develops your practice while you earn it.
Leadership Practice in Health and Social Care looks at how you lead people, manage change and build a positive care culture.
Strategic Management in Health and Social Care covers planning, quality, resources and the policy context of services.
Evaluating Research for Evidence-Based Practice teaches you to read, judge and apply research to decisions about care.
Undergraduate Major Project is an independent study over two terms on a management question from your own setting.
CMI accreditation
The course is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). Alongside your BSc (Hons), you can gain a CMI professional qualification and use CMI career resources and networking, which helps when you apply for management roles.

ABC Horizon advisers support you with enrolment, deadlines and study planning in Arabic or English.
Your degree and certificate
