Introduction
Contemporary Healthcare Management faces enormous challenges and requires leaders who provide effective management and oversight of healthcare organizations. The healthcare managers of tomorrow not only need to provide strong leadership, but they also need to consider healthcare globally, with a focus on a holistic approach, inclusivity, sustainability, and communication. Through a focus on these key issues and a strong data-driven approach, our MSc Healthcare Management students are ready to step into the sector and effect change in the places they want to see it.
Our CMI-accredited MSc Healthcare Management course is taught by international experts and enables you to get to grips with strategy and leadership alongside the study of healthcare. You’ll learn about corporate strategy and performance measurement, finance and accounting, marketing management, and leadership. You will also gain a detailed insight into key topics such as global sustainability in healthcare, managing integrated healthcare systems, and providing an inclusive service. You will end your Master's with a detailed report with the support of a dedicated expert supervisor, a strong basis to kickstart your career.
Our Healthcare Management program is designed to work for both current healthcare professionals looking to get ahead in their career, or those wanting to switch lanes and jump into a new field.
