What is the MBA in Health and Social Care Management?
This MBA gives you a full management foundation and then applies it to health and social care. Core modules cover finance, marketing, innovation and strategic leadership. Specialist modules cover health systems, health economics, quality and patient safety, digital health and workforce management.
What sets it apart from a general MBA is the sector focus: the specialist modules are written for hospitals, clinics and care organisations. You finish with a supervised applied project drawn from your own organisation or professional context.
Two examples of who might use it:
- A senior nurse stepping into a management post who wants finance and strategy skills.
- A hospital operations manager who wants a formal management qualification.
