Study a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Service Management – PGDipHSM
It is suitable if you are not sure if you wish to undertake, or do not qualify for, direct entry into the Master of Health Service Management. It may subsequently be credited to the Master of Health Service Management, subject to your grades. If you work or plan to work in the health or disability sector, this qualification will give you an employment advantage.
