Master's degree is designed for people who have completed a Bachelor’s degree in Social Services or Health Care and who have at least three years of work experience in a relevant field after graduation. In cases of persons who have completed a vocational degree or have another university degree, and who have since completed an applicable Bachelor’s degree, relevant work experience may be accepted from the time before graduation from said degree programme.
Credit transfer for studies means that the student can transfer prior higher education studies to the studied degree if they meet the competence objectives of the degree programme. Any studies completed in other higher education institutions can be included in the elective studies.

Students of Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) may propose credit transfer based on their prior studies and competence.
Credit transfer follows the spesific instructions of TAMK.
The programme corresponds to the competence framework described in European Qualification Framework (EQF) and the National Quality Framework (NQF). EQF enables lifelong learning and the flexibility of degrees within Europe. The master’s degree corresponds to the competence level 7.

The extent of the studies is 90 credits. Master’s degree studies are implemented as part-time studies with contact teaching on average on two or three days a month. Outside the contact teaching, learning takes place through independent and team work. The degree can be completed alongside work.
The studies provide the students with theoretical information on the field of management and development. In addition, students learn to think, evaluate and develop operation critically based on evidence. They can choose free-choice studies from other TAMK’s master’s degree programmes or from the educational supply of other higher education institutions.
The master’s thesis is a working life oriented development project. The master’s thesis topic can arise from a development need of the student’s current work community or it can be related to TAMK projects. The master’s thesis process includes research and development, systematic information search, and scientific writing. When the master’s thesis is ready, the student has to write a printable article as his/her maturity test.
The focus of the degree programme is on evidence based development and management skills. The degree programme gives the readiness needed for diverse managerial duties, management of change, and expert tasks.
After graduation the students are qualified to apply to vocational teacher's education and those public positions for which a master-level degree is a requirement. The degree is working life oriented and comparable with equivalent degrees in other EU countries (EQF, level 7).
Social and health care management and leadership, development tasks, diverse projects, and other expert tasks.
The master’s degree from a university of applied sciences produces the same eligibility for postgraduate studies as a master’s degree from a university.
Evaluation is based on the common evaluation criteria of TAMK.
