Public Health (Management and Leadership)

This course is ideal for those who aspire to be leaders in their healthcare organisations. You’ll study health needs and inequalities, and you’ll explore the principles of management and organisation theory in terms of public health and health policy and systems.

Course description

This course provides a combination of public health knowledge and management science.

On the course, you’ll study health needs and inequalities and be introduced to gathering and appraising evidence through research and needs assessment, as well as economic evaluation and healthcare financing. You’ll explore the principles of management and organisation theory and specific challenges relating to public health, as well as health policy and health systems.

We combine public health, management, health services research and health economics, which is not available on an MBA or a pure MPH or MSc programme.
