MSc Healthcare Management (Online)
Program Overview
This innovative online programme is designed for those with an interest in pursuing a career in management or with managerial responsibilities in the healthcare sector. The programme aims to create a new generation of healthcare professionals who understand and can provide solutions for the challenges faced by health systems and healthcare organisations.
The MSc reflects contemporary themes and developments within healthcare management. You will discuss the latest understanding of how to successfully manage healthcare organisations and acquire the skills and confidence to challenge, innovate and solve problems. You will also have the opportunity to pursue projects relevant to healthcare management.
The programme draws from the knowledge of leading University of Bristol academics from across disciplines and healthcare experts from industry to offer both a comprehensive, research-driven theoretical framework and practice-oriented knowledge and management skills. It provides an in-depth understanding and specialised knowledge of a number of subjects related to healthcare organisations, such as leadership, management, financial reporting, innovation, quality and safety.
It brings together the significant expertise and reputation of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Business School. It also benefits from the presence of world-class cross-disciplinary research institutions, along with the partnership and collaboration between the University and major healthcare providers in the South West.
This online programme is delivered through a blend of live online teaching sessions, recorded content, activities and web-based discussions. Through collaborative learning environments, you will network and learn from peers from a variety of backgrounds. Online learning offers the flexibility to study from anywhere in the world, allowing you to manage your own time and resources efficiently whatever your personal and professional commitments.

n upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in any healthcare subject or discipline, including social work, veterinary and dental qualifications.
Applicants must be in current part-time or full-time employment in a professional field, not limited to the health professions or a health service environment.

We will consider applicants whose interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme’s entry requirements. We may make these applicants an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so the applicant would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of their degree. Specific module requirements may still apply.
We will consider applicants whose grades are slightly lower than the programme’s entry requirements, if they have evidence of significant, relevant work experience. This is not limited to work in the healthcare sector.
