醫療保健領導力理學碩士

You will develop your understanding and skillset required to establish robust and effective management principles, theories, models and concepts applicable to any health environment, from primary healthcare to private practices, hospitals and other clinical organisations.

Core modules of studies cover areas in ethics, social care, data science and information processing, with topics spanning from effective leadership and healthcare innovations to financial management, research methods, and strategic management and implementation.

Towards the end of the programme, you will undertake a project of your choice to evaluate the impact of a particular aspect of organisational change, and how that contributes to improvements within healthcare services.

This programme is also available as a postgraduate certificate (PGCert) and a postgraduate diploma (PGDip), depending on your study options.
