³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ

From July to August before the programme begins you will complete some online pre-study modules. In September you will study foundation modules in health and leadership that are common to all concentrations.

From October onwards you will complete core modules in your chosen concentration: Management, Innovation & Entrepreneurship or Economics & Data Science.

In the Summer term you can tailor the programme to your interests, choosing four elective modules from within your concentration. These include experiential and global electives.

You will also complete your Project or Work Placement during the Summer term with the option to extend the programme to 16 months to complete an Extended Work Placement.

For more information

MSc Global Health Management offers three distinct concentrations, allowing you to tailor your learning experience and showcase your career aspirations to future employers. The concentrations are:

• Innovation & Entrepreneurship
• Management
• Economics & Data Science

You can find out more information about each concentration and advice on choosing the right path for you in our blog.

Consulting Project  

Working with an external healthcare or health related organisation, you will tackle a live business challenge and deliver practical recommendations to senior stakeholders. The project develops your problem-solving, analytical and communication skills while providing exposure to real organisational issues. Many consulting projects focus on areas such as innovation strategy, growth, digital transformation, new venture development or market expansion, allowing students to apply entrepreneurial thinking in an established business context.  

Work Placement  

This pathway offers the opportunity to work within a healthcare or health related company, start-up or entrepreneurial organisation, gaining hands-on experience in a professional environment. Students contribute to real business activities and projects while developing a deeper understanding of how organisations operate, innovate and grow. Depending on the host organisation, placements may provide direct exposure to start-up ecosystems, venture growth, innovation management or business development.  

Business Startup (Innovation and Entrepreneurship Concentration only) 

This option is the most entrepreneurship-focused pathway and gives you the opportunity to develop and test a new venture idea, either individually or as part of a team. You will apply entrepreneurial thinking, customer discovery, innovation methodologies and business model development to address a real market opportunity. Students gain first-hand experience of the challenges involved in launching a new business, from validating ideas and engaging potential customers through to refining a commercial strategy and growth plan.

Whichever pathway you choose, the emphasis is on experiential learning and applying theory in practice. 

The Managing Change and Innovation in Healthcare module (on the Management concentration), focuses on how new technologies drive innovation in healthcare organisations and health systems. You will examine why the adoption of new technologies can be challenging, and learn frameworks and strategies for successfully leading, implementing and scaling innovation in complex healthcare environments. 

Through the Digital Health elective, you will explore how digitalisation is transforming healthcare and public health, gaining insight into the opportunities and challenges associated with health technologies. The module provides a strong foundation for careers across healthcare, public health, research, health technology industries, international organisations, government agencies and entrepreneurial ventures. 

In addition, Technology and Innovation Management (on the Innovation and Entrepreneurship concentration) develops your understanding of how organisations harness technological advances to create new products, services and competitive advantage. You will learn about the innovation process, the factors influencing the successful adoption of new technologies, and the tools and practices that help organisations manage innovation more effectively. 

Together, these modules ensure that you graduate with a strong understanding of the role of digital health, innovation, emerging technologies and technology-enabled transformation in healthcare. While the programme is management-focused rather than a technical training programme, it equips you to evaluate, lead and implement technological and innovative solutions that address contemporary healthcare and global health challenges. 

On the MSc Global Health Management, you will develop a strong set of analytical and critical thinking skills that enable you to understand, evaluate and address complex health challenges at both a global and organisational level. 

You will learn how to analyse and appraise evidence from multiple disciplines, helping you identify the causes and consequences of major global health issues and assess their impact on societies and healthcare systems. The programme will equip you with the ability to apply a range of analytical techniques and frameworks to evaluate healthcare organisations, understand the environments in which they operate and support effective decision-making. 

As you progress, you will strengthen your capacity to interpret complex data, think critically about policy and management challenges, and develop sustainable, evidence-based solutions. Just as importantly, you will learn how to communicate your analyses and recommendations clearly and persuasively to a range of stakeholders.

No additional application is required before the start of your programme. When you begin your programme, you will be fully briefed on how you can opt in for the Extended Work Placement.

You will apply in term two of your programme. You will then be required to secure your own internship. The Careers team is available to support you in your search. Find out more about Careers.

If you have questions in advance of the programme start date, you can reach out to the Recruitment and Admissions team at business.school@imperial.ac.uk.

You can secure work placements globally, but it is your responsibility to secure the necessary visa permissions if the work placement is outside of the UK.

The Extended Work Placement allows you to undertake internships of four to six months as an assessed part of your programme, retaining student status for the duration of the internship. Students who complete the extended programme will also graduate with additional credits.

Modules will be assessed by one or more of the following types of assessment methods: 

• essays 
• continuous assessments 
• written examinations/tests 
• multiple choice tests 
• formal presentations 
• reports 
• case studies 
• class participation 

Assessment weighting varies among modules. Assessments are designed to ensure that you have acquired the core knowledge and skills expected of a Business School graduate and that you are able to apply these in your career aspirations upon completion of the programme 

The normal working week runs from Monday to Friday and classes will be scheduled between 08.30 and 21.00. You should expect to attend one evening class per week. Other optional activities such as guest lectures or alumni and careers events may be scheduled in the evening.

Almost all of the MSc programmes we have available are 12 or 16 month, full-time programmes. The only exception is our MSc Strategic Marketing (online, part-time) programme, which is available on a part-time basis.

All of our programmes are academically rigorous and include a quantitative component. Therefore, all candidates are expected to have a basic level of mathematics before the start of the programme. The Quantitative Experience Statement provides an opportunity to demonstrate this to the selection committee.

In the Quantitative Experience Statement, you need to list up to five of the most quantitative modules or elements of your studies to date. You should detail:

• the main topics of study (e.g. algebra, probability etc.);
• the level of study (e.g. high school, undergraduate degree, short course etc.).

This will allow the selection committee to have an understanding of your quantitative experience to date.

We recommend you review the programme content and the pre-study modules and check what the numerical content of the programme includes before submitting an application.

To submit a verification request, you must first create an online account with Qualification Check. You should use the unique link provided to you as part of your offer conditions.

Once you have completed the two-step registration process, you will have access to your online account. Search for the name of the institution at which you obtained your qualification(s).

Then, follow the steps to enter the required information for submission of a verification request. Your details will then be sent to that institution to be authenticated by the appropriate department. Find out more information at .

Qualification Check’s standard procedure is to contact the primary source of the information. This is the institution at which you studied. Qualification Check will regularly contact the relevant department at the institution to confirm the authenticity of your qualifications.

We understand that applications are urgent and Qualification Check makes every effort to accommodate your needs and expedite processes. Some institutions may take longer than others. But rest assured that Qualification Check is working hard to complete your verification. Find out more information at .

You can apply to be considered for one programme each year. If your application is unsuccessful we will take your areas of interest and eligibility into account when considering you for alternative programmes.

As part of your application, you will be asked to provide the contact details of two referees. Your referees will be contacted by email once you have completed and submitted your application. The email will contain instructions on how they can submit your reference via our application system.

Please ensure that each reference letter that is submitted has been sent from an academic or professional email address. We cannot accept references sent from personal email addresses, such as Gmail, Hotmail, 126, 163, Sina, QQ or Yahoo.

Our electronic application service is provided by an external provider. Therefore, there may be a delay before the receipt of your references is confirmed on your student application account.

If you receive confirmation that your references have been received but this still isn’t confirmed on your account a week after receiving the confirmation, please contact the Recruitment & Admissions team.

If you submit a complete application by the deadline, you will receive an outcome by the corresponding decision deadline. However, we may be unable to guarantee a decision by the deadline if:

• there are delays in receiving your references;
• the documentation required to progress your application is missing.

If the requested information is not received within five working days, we may be unable to guarantee a decision by the round deadline.

If you have received confirmation that your references have been submitted but this is not reflected in your account after a week, please contact the Recruitment & Admissions team.

Yes. As part of the selection process, shortlisted candidates for our MSc programmes will be invited to an interview. Interviews are conducted through our video interview platform. You can access it online to record and submit your answers.

The interview process typically takes about 20 minutes and does not require extensive preparation. It aims to supplement your written application and help you convey your suitability for your chosen Master’s by answering questions about your previous experience and future aspirations.

The purpose of the interview is to get to know more about you. We want to see how you approach problems, your motivations and wider interests.

If we identify malpractice or that answers provided are not genuine, then this may factor negatively into the admissions committee decision.

We have a blog you can read for more advice on how you can use AI responsibly in your application.

We operate a staged admissions process with several deadlines throughout the year. If you submit your application within an admissions round you can usually expect a decision by the published decision deadline for that round. For more information please see 'Key dates and deadlines' table.

Please keep in mind that during busy times and/or where documents are missing from an application, this may take longer.

When an offer is submitted by the Business School, the Central Admissions team needs to make a number of final checks before it can be formally approved. These may include:

• an additional review of an applicant’s academic background;
• ensuring the references we have received are valid.

Until you have received confirmation of the official offer via ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s applicant portal, please do not:

• arrange accommodation;
• book flights;
• decline any other offers you may be holding.

The majority of offers are successfully approved by Central Admissions. You will be able to see full details of your offer conditions once your official offer has been confirmed.

Unfortunately, we are unable to confirm when you will receive a decision on your application. We will be in touch via email as soon as there is an update. You do not need to provide any additional information unless you think it will add significant weight to your application. For example, updated transcripts, relevant internships or English language results.

Please email your programme Recruitment & Admissions team if you would like feedback on your application. Please note that whilst limited feedback can be provided, the decision of the academic selectors is final and it will not be possible for your application to be reconsidered.

If you receive an offer you can request to defer it to the following year. Requests will be considered until 23 June 2027.

Requests submitted after 23 June will only be approved in exceptional circumstances.

Please note deferrals are considered on a case-by-case basis and in order to be considered for a deferral you will need to pay the tuition fees deposit.

If you already paid your deposit for the current admissions cycle, this will be carried over to your new offer. However, our tuition fees do increase each year and you will be required to make up the difference between the old deposit and the new deposit amount.

Please note that you can only defer once.

We are unable to assess your eligibility before you apply. The academic selection committee needs to review a full application before any decision can be made.

Please check the specific entry requirements of the programme you are interested in studying. Please also check our international entry requirements. If you feel you meet our entry requirements you can apply online.

In addition to the guidance on our website, we hold regular information sessions online and on campus throughout the year. Here, we would be happy to discuss your suitability in more detail.

We accept a wide range of international qualifications for postgraduate study at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.

We've provided general guidance in the country and region index so you can understand how qualifications awarded by public institutions overseas may satisfy our minimum academic admission requirements.

We review our requirements annually. Updates usually happen in September each year before the next academic year of entry.

If your country or region is not listed, please contact the relevant Admissions team for further information.

Most MSc programmes require at least an Upper Second Class Honours degree (or international equivalent). However, we will consider applicants to the MSc Global Health Management with non-traditional qualifications and backgrounds, if you can demonstrate highly relevant work experience and interest in the sector.

The Business School does not offer pre-sessional English courses. We do not accept attendance of a pre-sessional English course as a means of meeting the English language requirement.

We will start to issue CAS numbers from April. The details of your CAS will appear on your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ record after you have met all the conditions of your offer. Please note that you will need to upload a scanned copy of the photo page of your passport and current visa (if you have recently completed a degree in the UK), before your CAS can be issued. Please upload these documents to the ‘Passport/visa’ section of your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ account.

Once your CAS is ready, you will receive an email confirming that it has been uploaded onto your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ account. If you log into My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ you will be able to find your CAS number and the details that have been included in your CAS.

Please note that we cannot provide you with a CAS if you have outstanding conditions on your offer. Please ensure that you allow enough time to meet your conditions and apply for a visa before the start date of your programme of study.

Your CAS number holds information about the programme you will study and if you have paid any fees. You will not need a formal letter from ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ confirming your offer status for your visa appointment.

For more information about what you will need, see the .

If you need any advice about your visa please contact the International Student Support team. Most information can be found on the International Student Support website.

If you require a visa to study on the programme, you will be initially granted a 12 month student visa upon entry (with an additional four months post study). If you decided to extend the programme to 16 months, you will be eligible to apply for a student visa extension (please note additional costs apply). This would enable you to apply for the Graduate Worker Visa once your degree is confirmed.

If you are self-funding you have the option to pay your tuition fees in either one or two instalments. These are payable at the start of your programme in August, or in August and February, respectively. If you pay in instalments there will be a 2% surcharge of the total amount added to your first instalment.

You will be asked to select a payment schedule during the offer acceptance process. Please contact the Student Finance team if you have further questions about this process.

Yes. If you choose to extend the programme to 16 months you will be required to pay an additional fee of £1,500. You should also budget for any additional travel and living expenses, as well as visa extension charges if you need to extend your study visa.

The Business School offers a variety of different scholarships, each with unique eligibility criteria.

All candidates who submit an MSc application and receive an offer for one of our programmes will automatically be considered for scholarship(s) relevant to their programme, providing the award does not have additional criteria, such as a written assessment. You can be considered for multiple scholarships at the same time though if you are successful in more than one scholarship you will be awarded the highest.

Yes, we offer a 10% scholarship on programme fees to successful candidates with either:

• an undergraduate degree from ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ awarded at a minimum of upper second class;
• a Master’s degree awarded at a minimum of Merit.

This award will be automatically applied to applicants who receive an offer of admission to an MSc programme.

If an organisation is responsible for paying your tuition fees, you must provide valid proof of the sponsorship.

Satisfactory evidence of sponsorship is usually regarded as an original, dated and authorised letter from your sponsor on headed paper, including:

• your name and College Identifier Number
• the programme for which you have been offered a place
• the amount of fees which will be paid by your sponsor (please report in GBP)
• the address to which the invoice should be sent
