MSc Healthcare Management (Top-Up) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a 9-12 Months ( Part-time) postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Health Management is regulated, so entry requirements and English levels are set higher than in most subjects and are rarely negotiable.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £8,950 a year.
