Health Administration, Policy And Leadership in Murdoch University, Australia

Health Administration, Policy And Leadership in Murdoch University

Course Description

The health industry is changing rapidly. Change is driven by an ageing population, greater consumer expectations, digital and technological disruption, the burden of chronic diseases and a growing focus on data and privacy. 

This is the only course of its kind in Australia, and is designed to help you become a fully informed and competent health industry leader and step up in your career.

You can take advantage of our expertise in health research and teaching, with the opportunity to be taught by leading experts while connecting with industry employers at a local, national and international level.

You can choose to specialise in the areas of health administration and leadership, evaluation and policy, or health informatics and analytics. You can also take a non-specialised approach for a broader and tailored pathway.
