About International Healthcare Management, PG Dip - at University of Essex Online

Challenge yourself with our progressive online Postgraduate Diploma in International Healthcare Management, that will provide you with a critical understanding of leadership and management theory, challenges and practices within a global healthcare environment.

This advanced postgraduate level course will introduce you to the complexities of international healthcare, covering a wide range of thought-provoking business and health related topics.

You'll learn how to critically analyse, compare and reflect on different national and international approaches to healthcare management; while considering external contexts, contemporary issues and influences.

Throughout this course, you'll explore a broad range of topics including:

  • how to use health economics to inform public policies and planning for effective and efficient delivery of healthcare services
  • practical leadership skills underpinned by a critical appreciation of leadership theory
  • the concept of evidence-based management practice in healthcare environments

Upon completion of your Postgraduate Diploma, we offer the opportunity for you to progress to study for a full Masters (awarded after 180 credits).
