Overview

The Health and Social Inclusion  program at  Dublin City University , the first of its kind in Ireland, is designed to give you the knowledge and skills you will need to tackle healthcare inequity and social exclusion, which can devastate community health and social wellbeing. 

As Ireland’s population continues to change, we need to promote inclusion and protect our diverse communities. People are often marginalised due to poverty, ethnicity, addiction, gender identity, illness or disability, and are likely to face poorer health outcomes. You will examine inequities, and develop the knowledge and skillset to respond to them. You will also learn how to improve community health engagement and social wellbeing, and lead in the field.

Career Prospects

The programme’s graduates will enjoy employment in a range of sectors including health and social care settings, health promotion, health-related statutory services, non-governmental organisations, academic sectors and/or pursue further doctorate-level studies.
