Business School
Health Management
The Postgraduate Diploma in Business in Health Management is a unique interdisciplinary qualification offered in conjunction with the School of Population Health in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences.
We advise you to take courses offered by each School in the same year to allow effective timetabling of the programme. If you are aiming to complete the diploma in two years, it is expected that you would take the four health courses in your first year (two each semester), and four business courses in your second year (one in each quarter).
