Healthcare Facilities MSc

The Healthcare Facilities MSc is the only programme currently available in the UK and internationally that leads to a degree specialised in healthcare built environments, either as a healthcare architect or healthcare planner. This is a very multifaceted area of the built environment and there are very few professionals that have academic qualifications at this level able to address the complexity involved.<br/><br/>The aim of the MSc is to generate an integrated perspective of all those components that constitute systemic, sustainable, and successful healthcare buildings. These components include: a strong emphasis on the value of real estate and place-making; an understanding of all elements necessary to enable significant environments for healthcare, including anything from hospital to homes for elderly and vulnerable people; a holistic perspective on Healthcare Facilities as a social provision.  <br/><br/>**Modular (flexible) students - Some postgraduate taught and MRes programmes are available on a modular basis. Modular study lasts between 2 and 5 years. This is different to a part-time study which lasts for a fixed period.**
