A basic qualification at degree level or its equivalent in an appropriate profession together with work experience in health administration is required for admission to the course. If applicants qualifications and work experience do not fall within this guideline, provision may be made for such candidates to undertake bridging units in order to obtain the required admission standards. The course is structured over one year of full-time study. It is also available as a part-time two year course and many students choose this option. Upon completion of this course a student may apply for entry to the masters degree course.
Some units are also available by distance education.
