Overview

Master of Business Administration (Healthcare Management)

The duration of this program has been reduced from 2 years to 1.5 years, rendering it ineligible for the Post-Study Work stream.

At Deakin, it recognises that the efficient management and delivery of healthcare will be one of the most pressing challenges facing economies over the coming years.  

Jointly run and managed by the Deakin Business School and the School of Medicine, Deakin's MBA (Healthcare Management) gives you the best of both worlds. 

Prepare to manage and lead healthcare services in Australia and overseas by undertaking the core of the MBA program plus a tailored set of health units.

Tailor your MBA studies to the particular issues and challenges associated with the healthcare sector. 

Learn the latest in business and management thinking, then apply your newfound knowledge to healthcare settings.

It would be best to have more than mere business knowledge to excel in a healthcare organisational environment or management role today. 

A comprehensive understanding of your policy context is vital, along with the skills to formulate and implement strategies necessary to operate efficiently and effectively.

Develop the specialised knowledge and skills to manage the growing challenges of the nation's health and provision of healthcare. 

As a graduate, you’ll have a deep understanding of health policy and funding context and the business end of healthcare delivery, such as financing, marketing, and economics.

This course also offers an advanced combination of business insight and healthcare focus to succeed in this critical health service delivery area.
