Course content

The MSc Global Leadership and Management in Healthcare is a distinctive course in its field. It focuses on developing the global mindset, a leadership and management concept applicable across global health systems. The World Health Organization identifies ‘using a global mindset for local issues’.

In modern healthcare systems, leaders need to be able to influence and support a multicultural workforce and to lead innovations and improvements within their area of practice. As a healthcare leader and manager you need skills in flexibility, adaptability, critical thinking, creativity and confidence to work within complex, interconnected and global influenced healthcare environments.

This course enables you to develop these skills, knowledge and behaviours required to embrace a global mindset and to lead and manage safe, high-quality and effective healthcare.
