The BSc (Hons) Healthcare Leadership looks at healthcare organisations with a business-focused mind. You learn to analyse complex, contemporary health organisations, using business analysis as the basis for negotiation, planning and delivering organisational goals, and the course encourages you to think like a future leader or entrepreneur in healthcare. Employers from the sector were directly involved in designing it, and lecturers bring industry experience. Employability activities include CV workshops, interview preparation, leadership development and networking with healthcare professionals. Study is at the East India campus in London, with a daytime option of two weekdays or an evening-and-Saturday pattern. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.
