Master of Health Management

This program is ideal for clinicians interested in pursuing a management or executive career in health policy or health care.

Students may choose to complete a specialisation in emergency and disaster management, health law, health policy and planning, quality and patient safety, or a cross-specialisation. Note, the specialisation is not part of the award title and does not appear on the graduation parchment.
