You’ll gain a critical insight into scientific theory and evidence that informs the management of health and wellbeing in the contemporary work setting and develop a skillset for evidence-based practice. Our curriculum is constantly evolving to reflect the changing world of work. You'll be taught by academics with an international research reputation and nationally-recognised leaders from the private and public sectors. You'll study part-time and online. However, you'll have the opportunity to visit the campus for a two-day residential twice a year. International students may study the entire course online.

This advanced degree from Nottingham will see you graduate with the knowledge to foster a culture where employee health and wellbeing is recognised as a critical foundation for organisational effectiveness.
