UCL GBSH Feature: UCL Launches World’s First Business School For Health
1 October 2021
Business Because reports on the launch of the world's first business school dedicated to health, including the first 'MBA Health' programme.
In September 2022, the first business school dedicated to health will open its doors to its first cohort of students at UCL East, reports Bethany Garner at Business Because.
Bethany Garner reports on the perfect timing of the UCL Global Business School for Health (GBSH) launch. She reports, "The GBSH’s opening comes at an opportune time, as the healthcare sector grapples with challenges such as containing an ongoing pandemic, COVID vaccine distribution, an ageing population, and how technology can best be applied."
The article also explores the several postgraduate programmes offered, including the cutting-edge flagship UCL MBA Health programme. "During the UCL MBA Health, students will learn about business topics like strategy or human resources. But at the end of each course, the subject is also applied directly to healthcare", reports Garner.
UCL GBSH Director Professor Nora Colton further expands on the health focus of the UCL MBA Health, explaining "During what we call ‘wrap-up week,’ health professionals come in and really bring those topics to life in how they apply to the healthcare sector."
