Health Policy and Management (M.Sc.)

Completed in one year full-time or two years part-time, the MSc in Health Policy and Management equips learners with essential knowledge, skills and tools for understanding, researching and working in complex and changing health and social care systems and services nationally and internationally. From reforming and managing health systems, to implementing organisational, technological and digital innovations to improve population health and reduce inequalities, course participants acquire a detailed theoretical and practical understanding of major health system challenges and developments - and how to address them.

The MSc in Health Policy and Management is taught through an interdisciplinary curriculum underpinned by the principle of evidence-informed policy and practice, with high levels of student participation and peer-learning. This unique MSc is suitable for professionals (e.g. medicine, nursing, allied health professions, management, public administration) and health and social sciences graduates. Participants learn and develop core competencies across subjects including population health management, health policy, health economics, comparative systems, integrated care, and managing people and change. Central to all is translating and implementing research evidence and knowledge for policy and practice, which is threaded throughout the modules as well as being a specific module.

Course participants progress by learning with a core multidisciplinary health and social sciences academic team based in Trinity College Dublin that have an established and highly regarded track record in health policy, economics, systems and management. This impactful and networked team introduce learners to leading policymakers and senior health system managers across public and private sector organisations. As part of this vibrant community of practice, course participants will expand their knowledge and network through participation at seminars, conferences and other events organised at the Centre for Health Policy and Management and the Discipline of Public Health and Primary Care, School of Medicine at Trinity College Dublin.

The MSc in Health Policy and Management will equip learners with the knowledge and skill-set to have a successful career in health systems, policy and management. The foundational learning is transferrable across roles and careers in research, health systems, policy and management, positioning graduates to pursue a range of mid- to senior level career opportunities in managerial, leadership or research-related roles in public and private-sector organisations.

Job Opportunity Potential

If you are an international student studying at Trinity, you might be considering internship and graduate work in Ireland, in your home country, or elsewhere. This section provides information for Non EU students on working in Ireland during and after your studies. For information and resources to support an international job search, see our Devex resource which includes international job search advice and information.

Employers value candidates who have more to offer than a good degree with high grades. They look for students who are well rounded and who have experience outside the classroom. Search for and take advantage of opportunities to gain experience, develop your skill set, and gain a clearer picture of what you like and don't like in terms of career options.

For example, you can get involved in some of the many student clubs and societies in college, volunteer or get a part time job. Remember that voluntary work is as valuable as paid work on your CV or resume - it's a great way to demonstrate your skills to future employers. Have a look at the TCD Civic Engagement website and check out volunteering opportunities in Ireland and abroad.
