About the programme
Global health challenges have highlighted the complexity of decision making in healthcare systems and the need for good leadership.
The MSc in Global Healthcare Leadership is an executive programme that enables busy leaders working in or alongside the healthcare profession to gain credible, unrivalled expertise, to address the challenges of a globally disrupted healthcare environment, from world-leading faculty at the University of Oxford.
The programme takes a holistic approach, looking at healthcare from an individual, organisational and systematic perspective. It will help you develop resilience, increase your confidence and give you the capability to lead change to innovate and strengthen healthcare provisions, both clinical and non-clinical.
The University of Oxford is a leading expert in healthcare. Our MSc in Global Healthcare Leadership brings together two outstanding research departments from Saïd Business School and Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. This collaboration connects business with healthcare from leading research faculty in the field.
Intellectually rigorous and highly practical, the part-time modular format consists of seven in-person modules and one module online. During these courses, you’ll benefit from discussion and networking with an international group of world-class faculty, guest experts and peers.
