Master of Health Service Management

In all countries of the world, increasing pressures on scarce resources have meant that all
investments, inside and outside the health sector, have come under closer scrutiny. This is
especially true for the healthcare sector and in turn, has led to an increased interest in healthcare
management strategies based on an economic and improving quality perspective. The
integration of health systems and their capacity to affect the quality of life for everyone means
leaders and managers in these systems need the education, knowledge and research to support
their contributions.
The Master of Health Service Management is ideal for professionals looking to progress their
careers in health policy, planning and management. The skills, a student gains from the degree
will enable him/her to integrate management and planning skills into every day health planning,
service reorientation and implementation. Graduates will have a high level of professional
skills and knowledge across the fields of health services management and will be well prepared
for rewarding careers in a range of sectors nationally and internationally. The health service
management degree will get the candidate ready for health sector job opportunities in quality
management, project management, change management, health informatics and risk
management.
