The academic team supporting the programme's development and delivery includes directors at the NHS/IHSCM and digital health tech companies, as well as industry professionals with extensive expertise in the health and social care sector, ensuring that the course is shaped by the demands of the sector. This adds a wealth of professional knowledge to your education and gives you a variety of opportunities to practice and hone your talents.
Finally, you will be able to learn from real-world experiences and connect with industry experts thanks to guest speakers and live case studies through our connections with the NHS, IHSCM, and Skills for Care.

About the university
Arden University provides flexible and accessible higher education. From our beginnings in 1990 as the online learning partner for British institutions, we've developed to provide both online and blended learning degree programmes that match the needs of modern living. We offer more than 90 career-focused degrees, many of which are recognised by the British Psychological Society, the Chartered Management Institute, the Chartered Institute of Marketing, the Agency for Public Health Education Accreditation, the Association for Project Management, and others.
Our mission is to shape business. You choose the self-development course and learning style, and we'll provide you the skills and insight to succeed.
Many of our students work, have families, and other commitments while studying, yet they require a Degree, Master's, or MBA to maximize their career. We love offering students the flexibility to study and attain their goals, even when they're too busy to visit a study center or be on a schedule. We hope you'll join.
