Health & rehabilitation
QMU provides a number of postgraduate course options associated with health and wellbeing . Together with courses in professions allied to medicine , we provide courses in therapy and support ( art , music and play ), the social sciences , and courses aimed at developing your career in the health sector .
If you already hold an undergraduate qualification in one of the health professions , our range of postregistration master ’ s courses will allow you to specialise further in your chosen field , or to develop skills to enhance your career and clinical expertise .
If you aim to change career , you could opt for a pre-registration master ’ s course . These provide the opportunity to gain professional registration in one of the allied health profession disciplines . Another option is to look at our Institute for Global Health and Development ( IGHD ), which specialises in running courses that assess health issues affecting developing countries .
Our Professional Doctorate will allow people working in the field of healthcare to obtain a doctoral qualification .
