Healthcare management usually provides students the knowledge and critical-thinking skills necessary for the management of healthcare delivery systems and health services. Managers plan, direct and coordinate medical and healthcare services. Students might find themselves in positions managing entire facilities, specific departments or a group of physicians in a medical practice.

A Master of Science or MSc is a postgraduate degree typically in the fields of sciences and social sciences. MSc may be course-based, research-based, or a mixture of the two.
