Description

This module provides students with the opportunity to connect with the health sector in an area that will help shape their career. Students will integrate what they have learned across the MBA Health programme in a consultancy project while working on a brief from a health sector client. This piece of work is an opportunity for students to work independently or in a small group, in collaboration with a health organisation to shape and engage with a problem or opportunity which a client needs to be addressed. This project may include an enhanced synthesis of the literature, practice, or research. The ambition is to allow students or their small group to identify together with the client and shape the project to inform their academic and professional skills for personal and professional development. Students will begin to work on the project in the second term with individual support from supervisors and industry experts to ensure their aspirations and the client's needs are aligned.
