As global life expectancy rises, the need for comprehensive palliative care, encompassing rehabilitation and promoting well-being, becomes increasingly critical in community settings and traditional healthcare environments. The University of Hull's online MSc Palliative Care: Implementing Best Practice is designed for health and social care professionals, policymakers, and researchers aiming to advance their expertise in developing, delivering, and evaluating effective palliative care and long-term condition management. This postgraduate degree equips you with the knowledge and skills to address the growing demand for compassionate and evidence-based end-of-life care.
This Masters degree is delivered entirely online over one year of full-time study, offering flexibility for professionals worldwide. You will engage with core modules such as Palliative Care Research and Practice and Introduction to Implementation Science, alongside optional units allowing for specialisation in areas like Qualitative Research Methods or Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions. The programme culminates in a substantial research project or dissertation, where you will apply your learning to a significant palliative care topic. You will graduate with enhanced capabilities to lead and innovate in palliative care services.
