Global Healthcare Management

Contemporary healthcare management faces significant challenges and requires leaders to provide effective management and oversight of healthcare organisations. The healthcare managers of tomorrow must offer strong leadership while considering healthcare globally, focusing on a holistic approach, inclusivity, sustainability, and communication. Through these critical issues and a data-driven approach, MSc Global Healthcare Management students are prepared to enter the sector and drive change where needed.

This course is taught by international experts and combines strategy and leadership with healthcare studies. Students will explore corporate strategy, performance measurement, finance, accounting, marketing management, and leadership.
