Master of Arts in Strategic Health and Wellbeing Leadership

The MA in Strategic Health and Wellbeing Leadership prepares you to drive meaningful change in community, organisational, and policy settings. You’ll develop strategic, leadership, and research skills to design and implement high-impact wellbeing initiatives, with a strong focus on evidence-based practice, behavioural change, and emerging national and global health trends.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the programme explores mental, physical, emotional, social, and organisational wellbeing. Through TUS’s active learning model, you’ll engage with strategic planning, policy development, leadership and management theory, and contemporary wellbeing trends, equipping you to influence change across corporate, public sector, healthcare, sporting, and community environments. You’ll also gain hands-on experience in integrative wellbeing practice, from digital health innovations to sustainable wellbeing strategies.
You can tailor your studies with a 30-credit capstone research dissertation or an action research project, complemented by practical project management skills to help you design, implement, and evaluate wellbeing initiatives. The programme also emphasises personal and professional development, with opportunities to engage in guest lectures, site visits, conferences, and collaborations with industry and community partners.
Graduates will be ready for leadership roles in health policy, corporate wellness, healthcare, sporting, and community wellbeing. Delivered in Limerick city, the programme provides an ideal base—especially for international students—to explore Ireland’s rich cultural and historical sites. All classes take place over two full days per week, offering flexibility for those balancing study with work or other commitments.
