Graduate Diploma in Health Leadership and Management
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Graduate Diploma in Health Leadership and Management builds on the shorter Graduate Certificate with deeper training in the theoretical and technical capacities health professionals need for leadership roles across health systems and services, in Australia or internationally. Coursework develops strategic leadership, change management, workforce management, quality enhancement and decision-making skills specific to healthcare contexts, aimed at professionals moving from clinical or operational work into management responsibility. Entry follows the same two main pathways as the certificate, requiring a three-year undergraduate degree in any field plus two years of full-time professional or volunteer experience in a relevant field, with an exceptional pathway available for other candidates. It suits health professionals who want more depth than a graduate certificate provides before deciding whether to continue into the full Master of Health Leadership and Management, functioning as a genuine middle option between the two.
