Programme summary
Develop as a leader and equip yourself with practical strategies to integrate evidence-based health and well-being approaches into your organisational framework, enhance employee satisfaction and productivity, and foster resilience.
Entry requirements
To be eligible for the programme you must:
- Hold a Level 7 or level 8 degree, or equivalent.
- Be working in a relevant sector (e.g. healthcare, allied health, education, law, HR, management or equivalent; hold a position with the responsibility/future opportunity to lead initiatives related to creating and sustaining positive workplace cultures.). As there is an emphasis on well-being of self and others, you should ideally be working in a setting where you can apply your learning.
- Meet the English language requirements: IELTS score of 6.5 or equivalent score on another standardised test. Please refer to the English language requirements for Postgraduate study. For exemptions, please see below. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) If you do not meet the minimum academic requirements above, you may still be eligible to apply through recognition of prior learning (RPL). RPL is the assessment of knowledge, skills and competence previously acquired. Learning occurs in many contexts which include work, involvement in social and community activities, or learning through life experience generally. RPL does not give credit for experience as such; rather it considers the learning that was acquired as a result of the experience. RPL may be used to gain:
- Admission to courses/programmes where a person may not have obtained the standard entry requirements.
- Exemptions from course modules which duplicate the learning outcomes an individual has already demonstrably acquired through prior learning.
- Recognition of prior learning (RPL) pathway is outlined here. If you wish to apply for recognition of prior learning, please complete the essay requirement as per assignment descriptor. Exemptions may apply for:
- Applicants who have completed their school or undergraduate studies (three or more years) through English in a country where English is the majority native language.
- Applicants who have completed their school or undergraduate studies (three or more years) in an English speaking institution in a country where English is not the majority native language and where an IELTS score of 5 or more was a requirement for admissions to the programme.
- Applicants who have been working in a country (three years or more) where English is the majority native language or for an employer where English language is the official language.
- Graduates of an RCSI Undergraduate, Masters or Professional Diploma programme in Dublin and Bahrain. Please note: Certified proof must be uploaded as part of your application.
