In a sector defined by rapid change and innovation, the ability to combine healthcare management with advanced data analytics is a game-changer. Our Online MBA Healthcare with Data Analytics degree equips you with the knowledge to make strategic decisions, manage complex healthcare systems, and improve operational performance. 

With the support of case-based learning and work-related activities, you’ll tackle real-world challenges and explore cutting-edge trends in healthcare, from financial performance to innovative technologies, all while gaining the skills to analyse data and drive impactful solutions.

The MBA Healthcare with Data Analytics is delivered through the university’s Moodle virtual learning environment, combining live and pre-recorded lectures, interactive quizzes, discussion forums, and collaborative group activities. The platform supports a blended approach – you engage with content at your own pace while participating in scheduled seminars and peer discussions that bring your learning to life. Guest speakers from healthcare and analytics are integrated throughout the programme, providing direct insight into how data is transforming health services.

Full-time students should expect to dedicate approximately 35-40 hours per week across directed learning, independent study, and assessment preparation. Part-time students typically commit around 15-20 hours. The programme is structured around modules that balance self-paced learning with interactive, tutor-led sessions, so you can build a study routine that works alongside your professional life.

Assessment is grounded in real-world healthcare application. You will work through case studies drawn from health systems and data-driven scenarios, interactive workshops, group assignments, data analysis projects, and individual written submissions. Tools such as Mentimeter and live polling are used within sessions to create an engaging, participatory learning experience. The programme culminates in an Applied Research or Consultancy Project, where you use data analytics to address a genuine healthcare challenge.

You will receive tailored feedback and guidance from your academic tutors throughout each module. A dedicated student support team is available for academic, technical, and administrative queries. Beyond graduation, Roehampton’s Careers Support Team offers personalised guidance, workshops, networking events, and one-on-one coaching to help you take the next step in your career.

This is one of the few MBA programmes designed specifically for the intersection of healthcare management and data analytics. You graduate with the strategic leadership skills of an MBA, the sector expertise of a healthcare specialism, and the analytical capability to use data to drive healthcare decisions.

The University of Roehampton is based in London, home to NHS England, major health research institutions, and a thriving health technology sector. Your MBA carries the credibility of a London university, positioning you for leadership roles in organisations that are investing in data-driven healthcare.

The programme bridges the gap between health data and strategic action. You will learn to collect, visualise, and interpret healthcare data, and translate those insights into decisions that improve patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and financial performance.

Four intakes per year (January, March, June, September), fully online delivery, and the choice of full-time or part-time study mean you can develop specialist healthcare analytics leadership skills without stepping away from your career.

Health systems globally are investing in data infrastructure, predictive analytics, and evidence-based decision-making. Professionals who understand both healthcare management and data analytics are in a stronger position than specialists in either field alone.
