The Master of Health Management and Policy/Master of Business Administration at the University of Newcastle is a comprehensive double degree designed to develop the expertise needed for senior leadership roles at the intersection of healthcare and business. Over two years of full-time study, students gain advanced knowledge in health policy, organisational management, business administration, and strategic planning.
This dual program is structured through a blend of coursework units, each earning credit points toward the final qualification. Coursework is delivered across trimesters or semesters, combining core health management and policy subjects with MBA-focused content such as finance, marketing, and leadership. Students deepen their learning through integrated professional experiences and may undertake a capstone project that tackles real-world issues in the Australian healthcare sector, informed by links to local industry and public health organisations.
Throughout the program, students develop advanced analytical, leadership, and problem-solving skills, learning to critically evaluate healthcare systems, influence policy, and effectively manage teams and budgets. The combination of health and business studies ensures graduates are well-equipped to navigate complex regulatory, ethical, and operational dynamics that define healthcare in Australia and globally.
This program is suited to aspiring and current healthcare leaders, policy advisors, hospital administrators, or business professionals seeking to transition into health sector management. The university supports international students with guidance on meeting English proficiency requirements and navigating work rights, allowing up to 48 hours of work per fortnight during study, with potential for post-graduation opportunities under Australia's Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Prospective students should confirm all admission details and course structure via the official source.
It typically takes 2 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$93,542 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
