SU's Master of Health Services Management is designed for practising and aspiring managers in health services who are seeking a formal management qualification to complement their experience and/or undergraduate qualifications.

The Master of Health Services Management is appropriate for a diverse range of health professionals such as medical, paramedical, nursing, allied health and general administrative personnel. The interdisciplinary nature of the student group is a distinctive feature of the course.

The course aims to help students develop their managerial competencies by equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to facilitate efficiency, effectiveness and a high quality of service in performance at personal, department and organisational level. A high quality of conceptualisation is required to be demonstrated at Master level. It is expected, for example, that students will be able to demonstrate a capacity to evaluate the relevance of different conceptual approaches to management issues in the context of their own experience and workplace.

A distinct feature of the program, which is only delivered by distance education, is its online support including electronic assignment transmission, forums or threaded bulletin boards, direct email to Course Coordinators, and access to electronic databases and journals. The forums allow students to raise issues of concern, and ensure not only contemporary learning, but also an exchange between professionals in different healthcare systems. There are no examinations and assessment tasks are largely workplace based or situated.

Study materials includes printed packages containing course overview, study guide and selected readings. Additional electronic resources are updated frequently and often within the session of study to complement the study resources provided.
