Postgraduate Studies MSc in Healthcare Management

The Master’s Program in Healthcare Management is one of the academic programs offered by the School of Human and Social Science at the Libyan International Medical University. This scientific program was designed with several benchmarks, standards, and references. Libyan Higher Education Law (501) for the year 2010 and the curricula of some leading international healthcare management programs were used in developing this program, taking into account the particularity of the Libyan business environment and its labor market needs.
The program will be delivered using modern educational techniques such as problem-based learning (PBL), team-based learning (TBL), and case-based learning (CBL).

Hence, the focus will be on the student as a source of knowledge production rather than a passive learner.
For the student to be awarded an MSc Degree in Healthcare Management, he must successfully pass 10 modules with 8 ECTS credits each. Additionally, a thesis counts for 16 ECTS Credits that must be submitted. An official defense (viva) will take place afterward.

The graduates of such programs will be ready to be engaged in the healthcare labor market as practitioners at public and private healthcare institutions or as academicians at higher education institutions.

Recognition and Accreditation

Academic recognition and accreditation are one of the most important matters that concern any educational institution. Therefore, the Faculty of Business Administration at Libyan International Medical University was keen on this matter by applying to obtain official recognition from the Libyan Ministry of Education and the Centre of Quality Assurance and Accreditation. The faculty succeeded in fulfilling the recognition and accreditation requirements and obtained recognition for bachelor’s degree programs. Hence, this was a key motive to proceed with the postgraduate studies programs by arranging a cooperative agreement and being a partner to some European universities under the European Union Commission. This has ended with the launching the MSc Program in Healthcare Management. This program is fully planned, organized, supervised, and evaluated by the EU throughout the period of the study. The first semester of the master’s program in healthcare management started in November 2022, and periodic reports were sent for follow-up and evaluation.

The program was officially approved on May / 2023, by the Libyan Ministry of Education under Decree No. 373/2023, / 2023 which allows Libyan International Medical University to launch an MSc Program in Healthcare Management.
