The MBA (Hospital and Health Services Management) is a flagship qualification designed to meet the needs and aspirations of early career individuals through the combination of a general management education with the specialist area of Hospital and Health Services Management. It is designed for individuals who want to develop their leadership and management skills along with their interest in Hospital and Health Services Management and for those seeking fast track career progression opportunities.

The course adopts a practical and applied business curriculum and aims to develop an advanced knowledge of organisations and their effective management in the dynamic competitive global context, and the ability to creatively apply this knowledge and understanding to complex issues to systematically and innovatively enhance strategic business and management practice.

This offers a challenging learning opportunity to encourage the integration of theory and practice supported by experienced academics with substantial management experience. You will work with academics and professors of practice on live consultancy projects with leading employers in organisations across private, public and not-for-profit sectors to support your personal and professional development as a creative and innovative leader with the knowledge and skills needed in the global, knowledge-based economy.

You will develop the attributes and skills expected of post-graduates, as recognised by professional and industry bodies such as the Chartered Management Institute and the Confederation of British Industry, including team-working, negotiation skills, leadership, confidence and the ability to apply critical and creative thinking to complex and unclear problems to develop innovative solutions.

This degree aims to enhance your professional prospects by developing your capability to apply the latest thinking relating to organisational development and change in the competitive global context. Successful completion of the MBA (Hospital and Health Services Management) highlights your potential to have a real impact on the transformation of the organisation you join.

The underpinning philosophy of all the assessments is to develop both your knowledge and skills to enter employment as a confident manager with a strong base from which to meet your own aspirations. The aim is for you to become an independent and self-directed lifelong learner. Tutors will provide feedback on formative assessments to develop your knowledge and understanding.

All assessments are rooted in authentic and practical workplace scenarios to enable learning to be transferred to the workplace. Later assessments allow for greater integration and synthesis. Exams are kept to a minimum as the focus is on practical skills such as report writing, presentation and projects. A range of assessment methods are used throughout the course for you to demonstrate your knowledge and skills.

⛑Individual written reportsallow you to apply theory to case studies for in-depth analysis
⛑Business Reportsallow you to demonstrate contextual insight and report professionally on practice
⛑Project Plansrequire you to demonstrate your teamwork, leadership, decision making and project planning skills
⛑Seminar Papersallow progressive development of critical analysis skills
⛑In-class teststest your knowledge of core concepts in context
⛑Project Reportintegrates learning throughout the course applied in practice
⛑Business simulationwhere you demonstrate the impact of your strategic decision making

You will therefore be active within an authentic learning scenario, the situation is dynamic and in real time, and most importantly you will be learning and monitoring a ‘real world’ work situation. The aim of the feedback from the tutor would be to help you to recognise your own input to the problem, and to self-assess efficacy in the achievement of the learning objectives.

The Dissertation stage of the course is defined as the final 60 credits, which include:

⛑Management Project (15 credits) and Theory into Practice Project (45 credits)
⛑You must meet the University progression requirements to progress to the Dissertation stage.
