Master of Health Management
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
The Master of Health Management is run through Monash's Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine for people already working in, or moving into, middle and senior health service management roles. It's built around the practical realities of running hospitals and health systems, covering financial management, health policy, quality improvement and clinical leadership, and it explicitly caters to hospital administrators, senior nursing managers, clinical doctors moving into management and quality assurance leads. Entry requires a bachelor's degree in a health-related discipline with a credit average plus a year of relevant work experience, reflecting the assumption that students are already embedded in the health sector rather than entering it fresh. Depending on prior study you complete 96 or fewer credit points, and strong performance in Monash's related Graduate Diploma of Health Management can shorten the path into this degree. It suits health professionals who've reached the point where clinical skills alone aren't enough for the management responsibilities they're taking on, and who need a credential that speaks directly to healthcare administration rather than generic business management.
