Introduction
Empowering future healthcare leaders and critical thinkers to tackle multidimensional global health challenges
Due to the complex and fast-evolving nature of the determinants of health and associated global challenges, for 2024 our MSc Global Health Management (previously MSc International Health Management) adopts an interdisciplinary approach, going beyond traditional training on healthcare management and leadership. The program invites you to consider a wide range of interrelated factors such as innovation and technology, socioeconomic and environmental factors, policymaking, sustainability, and data and analytics to evolve the future of global healthcare. Our goal is to equip future healthcare leaders with a new set of skills to shape the agenda and take on challenging global roles in the health and healthcare ecosystem, whether that’s in the private industry, government, international organizations, or health service providers.
Tailor your program with concentrations
Following a recent redesign, the program has been built for the future, offering a unique blend of specialist health modules and concentrations in either Innovation and entrepreneurship, Management, or Economics and data Science. Towards the end of the program, you will complement your learning with experiential modules and electives, gaining real-world experience and personalizing your learning experience. Get ready to push traditional boundaries to effect meaningful systemic change within health ecosystems globally.

Admissions
Scholarships and Funding
We know that choosing to pursue a Master's program is an important decision and a substantial investment in yourself. Fees for our MSc programs are the same for both UK and international students.
In addition to the costs of tuition, you should also consider the costs of living in London during your studies and the lifestyle choices that will determine your costs. Many of the students in our Master's programs fund their studies through multiple funding sources, combining personal resources with education loans and scholarships.
Master's scholarships and bursaries
Imperial College Business School is pleased to offer significant scholarship funding to our most talented applicants. A range of scholarships are available, including several dedicated schemes for specific programs, and it is recommended that you apply early to give yourself the best chance of receiving an award.
We have three submission deadlines to apply for scholarships for our 2024 Master’s intake of students. To be considered for a scholarship you should submit your application by one of the deadlines; scholarships will be awarded from the first deadline onwards. We will review your suitability for an award alongside the other applications we receive within that round.

Please also be aware that scholarships may not be awarded following every round (e.g. if scholarships in a particular category have all been awarded or there is an insufficient number of eligible candidates in a given round).
