Entry Requirement
For entry to Strathclyde postgraduate programmes, we'd look for a first-class undergraduate degree (approx 60%) from a recognised Indian institution.
Although 60% is a general entry requirement we understand that the marking system in some states and national universities make it harder to achieve 60%, therefore we will accept 55% from University of Mumbai, University of Calcutta, University of Delhi etc.
Graduates from the IITs and IIMs will also be considered with marks in the region of 55%. If you wish to apply for a research degree you'd normally have to have a Masters degree and some experience of research work.

Career Prospect

The MSc Health & Social Policy is strongly informed by our partnerships with NGOs and policy organisations and is designed to support graduates to develop three potential career paths:

Careers within policy organisations concerned with addressing health and social challenges (e.g. local, devolved and national governments, health policy advisory bodies, and international policy organisations such as the World Health Organization and global health charities).
Careers in organisations using research to influence the policies that impact on people’s health (e.g. large charities/NGOs/non-profit organisations and health policy think tanks). Recent graduates from our social policy programmes have taken Policy Director and Policy Lead roles on in prominent health NGOs.
Research careers, within universities and research consultancies. Graduates can also use this qualification as a platform for undertaking PhD study. The research methods training on the MSc Health & Social Policy is approved by the ESRC via the Scottish Graduate School in Social Sciences.
