Open-Book Assessments that Reflect Real-World Practice

In modern healthcare leadership, success isn’t about memorising facts—it’s about knowing where to find information, how to evaluate it, and how to apply it ethically and effectively. That’s why our programme uses open-book assessments rather than traditional question-and-answer exams. You’ll be challenged to synthesise insights, build arguments, and make decisions grounded in evidence.

This assessment style mirrors professional reality, where leaders draw on guidelines, data, financials, and stakeholder input. You will demonstrate not just what you know, but how you think—an attribute that employers consistently value in strategic roles.

Learn from Tutors with Elite Academic Backgrounds

Your faculty includes experienced academics and practitioners who have graduated from world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Their mentorship bridges scholarship and practice, ensuring you gain both the theoretical rigour and the practical relevance needed to lead.

You’ll be guided by experts who bring international case studies, current research, and real-world scenarios into the classroom. Their diverse perspectives help you see the bigger picture—spanning policy, operations, finance, innovation, ethics, and patient outcomes.

Join a vibrant, diverse cohort representing over 130 countries. Your peers will challenge your assumptions, broaden your perspective, and become an enduring professional network. In healthcare—where collaboration and cross-border partnerships are increasingly essential—that global perspective gives you a decisive edge.

Our alumni work for international organisations like Abbot Laboratories, AbbVie, AMGEN, gsk, Novartis, Roche, Pfizer, Sanofi, Merck, Medtronic, United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony, and many more.

Invest in your future with a plan that respects your current commitments. Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, helping you manage cash flow while you study. It’s a practical path to a premium international qualification.

This approach keeps your financial planning predictable and transparent while you build the capabilities and network that can significantly enhance your career trajectory.
