Congratulations on securing a place to study at Swansea University

Welcome to Swansea University

Congratulations on securing a place to study at the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science- School of Health & Social Care

We can’t wait to meet you during your induction week and we wanted to give you some important hints and tips before you join us for induction.

On this page, you will find key information that you can refer to ahead of and during your studies with us. We hope that this will get you excited about starting University and will hopefully help to settle any nerves you may have.

Remember, for your specific programme induction, check out your induction schedule below...

MSc Health Care Management

Welcome to the MSc Health Care Management. My name is David Rea and I am the programme director for the course. This is by way of introduction to the programme and to offer you some information you may wish to have before you come in for your first day.

Below you will find a timetable for the MSc Health Care Management Programme induction session and an outline of our first day.

Finally there are some reading lists. These are just for guidance as some students like to start their reading before the programme commences. If you are not one of these students that is fine too though there will be plenty of reading to be done once you on the programme and thinking about assignments.

We are looking forward to meeting you.

Yours faithfully,

David Rea
