MBA from Canada or Australia?

Can someone please let me know some good universities in Canada or Australia which offers MBA with Health Care Management. I am searching but all I get is General MBA. Most universities do not offer health care program. Please help me…Thanks

G’day,

FYI, you are searching not in the right term. The term MBA is usually only for general Business Admin courses such as accounting/marketing/HRM/etc. What you want to study is a specialised course, usually called Master of Health Management.

From the 2 countries you mentioned, Australia may be the cheapest alternative, due to currency exchange. This means that tuition fees and living expenses are cheaper. On top of tuition fees, you will need to pay for campus fee (vary from each uni) and Overseas Student Health Cover (abt AUD$350/yr) and text books (abt AUD$200). These are the rough estimate of the fees for your study.

Before coming to Australia, you will need to pay the fee for student visa processing and health check-up. Depending on where you come from, you may also be required to take an IELTS test for indication of your English proficiency for application to uni and for visa (www.ielts.org)

There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from.

The Australian uni’s offering Master in Health Management are as follows (no particular orders):
Curtin Uni (www.curtin.edu.au)
Griffith Uni (www.griffith.edu.au)
Flinders Uni (www.flinders.edu.au)
UNSW (www.unsw.edu.au)
Uni of Sydney (www.sydney.edu.au)
Uni of New England (www.une.edu.au)
Uni of Wollongong (www.uow.edu.au)

Tuition fee & requirements will be available in those websites. Please make sure that the information you accessing are the ones for international students, not for local students, as there are some difference in regards to tuition fees. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification (in English and original language). The process will take abt 2-3weeks, depending on the time of the year.

Hope this helps. Good luck for your study
