MBA (Global Healthcare Management)

Modern healthcare is interconnected on a global scale. Expert healthcare managers facilitate effective person-centred care at the local level, appreciate the broader national and international contexts of sustainable services, and recognise and respond to global trends in their local context. If you're an existing healthcare professional who aspires to manage and lead, then the University of Bolton's MBA Global Healthcare Management is ideal. By studying with us, you can build your understanding of the nature, business and management of healthcare provision while experiencing life at our supportive, student-focused, multicultural campus in the heart of the North West of England. We combine study and training across the three areas of healthcare, management and research, guiding you as you deepen your understanding of business administration in the healthcare context. We'll support you in developing your knowledge of global health challenges, how they can be addressed, how healthcare systems can respond effectively, and the place of business management within health practice. Additionally, we'll focus on developing your strategic thinking and practice-focused research skills and highlight tools and resources that can help you develop practical solutions and transferrable skills. The University of Bolton's MBA Global Healthcare Management programme will support you in developing a critical understanding of global healthcare management perspectives and how these shape business management practices in a local setting. You'll explore the global context of organisations and their workforce design, quality improvement, operations and financial management, as well as develop critical insight into innovation. We'll help you gain a critical understanding of healthcare systems and decision-making, preparing you to improve business and management practices in your workplace. As a graduate of this MBA, you'll have the knowledge you need to be an effective manager with the skills and confidence to make excellent business, management and leadership decisions that advance your workplace and your career in the healthcare sector.
