The Graduate Certificate in Health Management and Leadership has been designed in collaboration with practising health leaders to ensure you get the most relevant and up-to-date knowledge to progress your healthcare career.
This course is perfect for busy professionals. Everything is online (so no need to travel to a campus), from lectures and discussion groups to assessments. All backed up with 24/7 IT support.
When you start your graduate certificate, you'll study small, modularised subjects first. That way you can ease back into incorporating study around your other commitments. As you approach graduation, you could have the option to progress straight into the master's degree if you want to continue your studies.
Your assessment tasks can align to your current workplace, so you can solve real-world challenges and bring immediate value to your organisation as you study.
Diverse health services management roles are found in the public and private sectors throughout Australia and overseas. Charles Sturt University's Graduate Certificate in Health Management and Leadership provides an introductory understanding of the managerial role as it applies to the healthcare sector. For those already working in management, the course provides additional knowledge and skills to enhance your practice. Manage units and departments in a range of public and private healthcare practices, including nursing, allied health, paramedicine, medical science, medicine, dentistry and aged care sectors.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
