What is the difference between a health leadership degree and a health services management degree?

At UniSQ Health Leadership is a specialisation within our suite of Nursing and Allied Health degrees. Health Leadership primarily focuses on developing leadership skills and abilities within the healthcare industry, preparing individuals for leadership positions, shaping healthcare policies, and leading multidisciplinary teams.

A health services management degree concentrates more on the operational and administrative aspects of managing healthcare organisations, including healthcare finance, policy and regulations, quality improvement, and healthcare operations management.

Are there opportunities for networking and collaboration during a healthcare leadership degree?
At UniSQ we are committed to nurturing practical skills, fostering industry connections, and promoting professional development, empowering our students to make a positive impact. You will have the chance to connect with industry professionals, fellow students, fostering valuable relationships within the healthcare field.
What are the entry requirements?

UniSQ’s postgraduate Health Leadership degrees require you to have a relevant bachelor degree. For entry into some healthcare leadership degrees you may also need to hold current relevant professional registration.

UniSQ's health management courses offer a comprehensive curriculum that equips you with the necessary skills and knowledge needed to excel in leadership roles within the healthcare industry.  

Please view the the specific entry requirements of the degree you are interested in to determine the prerequisites or prior experience needed.
