About Frontier Innovation University
Affordable US innovation university in Austin, Texas.
Overview
This MSc is for people who already live with delayed discharge, winter plans, and the gap between a Scottish Government target and a ward that has no staff to meet it. University of Brigant teaches health service management as UK/NHS systems work—integration joint boards, territorial boards, and the politics of money flowing through Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland—not as a clinical conversion course. You will not be trained to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. You will be trained to write a board paper that a non-executive can interrogate, to read a waiting-list without worshipping the dashboard, and to keep one academic standard whether you sit in Edinburgh or study tuition-free online.
Delivered on campus in Austin with in-person seminars, library access, and student services.
**Award:** Frontier Innovation University **Credits:** 36 | **Typical duration:** 2 years (18 months)
