Online MBA Clinical Leadership
Our new Online MBA Clinical Leadership will be jointly delivered by Birmingham Business School and the Health Services Management Centre.

The programme has been launched to meet the growing demand for strategic leaders within the global healthcare sector who are equipped with the skills needed to address the growing challenges facing health services today. Students will learn to combine sound business leadership skills with an in-depth understanding of the frameworks and challenges that are specific to global healthcare.

Students will learn how to communicate and interact with complex data sets and gain hands-on experience of data coding, which will enable them to develop the practical skills they need for a bright future in this rapidly growing field.
Online PGCert Design for Learning Environments
