This online healthcare management programme will help you analyse and improve your managerial effectiveness, supporting your progression towards senior management positions in the healthcare sector.

These awards form part of our Biomed Online programme for health sector workers who want to keep abreast of latest developments. You can study our modules individually for your continuing professional development (CPD) or follow a specific pathway to pursue a postgraduate award (PGCert / PGDip / MSc) in Healthcare Management.

The Healthcare Management course offers advanced qualifications for senior management positions within healthcare settings. Our intensive 12-week taught modules provide current or aspiring healthcare managers with the tools to evaluate and develop their administrative activities more effectively. To complete the master's degree (MSc), you will also conduct a research-focused workplace project.

Our modules are supported by a consortium of NHS Trusts, Pathology Joint Ventures, UK Health Security Agency and the University of Greenwich. Each module comes with full support from an experienced practitioner and has been approved by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), the leading body for current practitioners in the field.

Students complete two modules for a PG Cert in Healthcare Management, or four modules for a PG Diploma in Healthcare Management. See the pathway options. Students undertaking the full MSc must also complete a workplace-based project.

The modules available for this programme are shown below. The spread over five years is an example of how the study can be completed. There is flexibility for completion in a shorter or longer timeframe – maximum 3 years for PG Cert; 5 years for PG Dip; 7 years for the full MSc.

MSc Biomedical Science (Online), PG Diploma Biomedical Science (Online) and PG Cert Biomedical Science (Online) awards will continue to apply to students who joined the programme before September 2024.
