UCL Global Business School For Health
London, United Kingdom
This specialist master's degree addresses one of the most consequential challenges in global health: how to understand, shape and improve complex health systems. Delivered by academics and industry experts at the world’s first business school dedicated to health, the Health Systems, Policy and Innovation MSc offers a focused, real-world learning experience at a globally ranked top 10 university (QS World University Rankings 2027).
Health systems are under increasing pressure. Demographic change, widening inequalities, environmental disruption and rapid technological advancement are reshaping how care is delivered and experienced. At the same time, evolving political and economic conditions are transforming how health systems are financed, governed and improved. These challenges demand leaders who can work across disciplines, sectors and institutions to drive meaningful change.
Our course develops your expertise from core health systems and policy perspectives through to advanced topics including innovation, leadership, sustainability and digital transformation. You will explore how technologies such as AI are reshaping health systems, alongside their ethical, organisational and societal implications. This master’s degree equips you with the analytical, strategic and leadership skills to improve health systems and outcomes at scale.
In the final stage of the course, you will apply your learning through a group business or consultancy project and an individual research project. These provide opportunities to engage with real-world challenges and demonstrate your expertise in health systems transformation.
