Course Summary

Lead future clinical change

Aging populations, greater patient expectations, rising healthcare costs and the growing prevalence of chronic disease – to meet these challenges, we urgently need smarter, more efficient healthcare systems driven by decisive and innovative health services leadership.

The University of Birmingham’s online MBA Clinical Leadership degree is designed to help you develop the necessary business management skills, within the organisational context of healthcare, to drive these new solutions and improve public health outcomes.

By uniquely focusing on both health service management and business leadership, this programme will equip both clinical and non-clinical professionals with the ability and confidence to lead clinical experts and effect change.

The programme is AMBA-accredited and is part of our acclaimed online MBA, currently ranked Top 10 in Europe. This means you’ll be studying alongside professionals from all sectors of business, including healthcare, exposing you to a truly global spectrum of leadership strategies and techniques.

Drawing on connections with a range of industries and organisations, the Birmingham Business School opens up countless opportunities to advance into a clinical leadership role.

Thanks to the interdisciplinary nature of the programme, it is suitable for professionals from clinical as well as non-clinical backgrounds. Whether you’re a healthcare professional interested in senior leadership or a manager responsible for leading clinical staff, this programme is ideal.

Graduating unlocks career opportunities in frontline health services, either in the NHS or in private pharmaceutical, bioscience, medtech or life science companies.
