Course overview
The University of Westminster's part-time Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma in Managing Health and Social Care courses are designed to combine the theory of leadership and management with the everyday tasks of management at work. They have been running very successfully for the last 20 years throughout the UK, educating hundreds of managers
Both programmes have been developed to provide an opportunity to:
- share the values and beliefs of other people in the public, voluntary and independent sectors
- reflect the importance of joint working and working in partnership
- reflect the changing nature of the working environment
The Certificate Programme lasts 12 - 14 months while the Diploma Programme spans 18 - 24 months. One follows on from the other. Both are supported open learning programmes of part-time study that involve one day per month release for learning set activity within the workplace setting, with the expectation that students will continue their studies at home in between learning set attendance.
