Introduction

The online master’s degree program Healthcare Leadership will support you in becoming a change leader. The Nordic social and healthcare sector faces rapid shifts brought about by digitalisation, privatisation and demographic changes. Especially the development in health technology has with the recent implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) evolved rapidly and calls for leaders that can understand and utilize health technology and effectively harness innovation.

In this programme, you will be allowed to explore new leadership techniques, discover your leadership strengths and expand your professional horizon. The programme consists of two main focus areas; Healthcare Leadership and Health Technology.

Within Healthcare Leadership we focus on the broad overview of leadership theories, change and transformational leadership, personal leadership behaviour, team-behaviour, cultural awareness, and systems thinking. You will get a broad overview of leadership theories and learn the creative and critical thinking skills required for successful leadership. The focus on Health Technology provides a broad overview of health technology healthcare and focuses on healthcare leadership in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

You will analyse, critically evaluate and develop both projects and your leadership style. The programme also makes you eligible for doctoral studies.

You can choose between completing the programme in one and a half years (full-time studies) or three years (part-time studies).

Arcada – a window to the Nordics

Arcada, with its wide Nordic network and long experience of leadership in the social and healthcare sector, is a self-evident home for master studies combining healthcare and leadership from a Nordic perspective. The common Nordic landscape for future healthcare arrangements offers us a dynamic and interesting starting point for learning and exploring different best practices.

We offer a flexible online study programme which enables you to work alongside your studies. With several years of experience in delivering degrees online, you can rest assured that the online tuition at Arcada is of high quality. Our pedagogics are rooted in problem-based and student-driven learning. We believe that learning happens when you get to be active and ask questions. However, our teachers continuously offer you support, guidance and feedback, ensuring that you are not left alone with your studies.

In practice, all lectures, coaching and assignments are handled online. Lectures will usually be held on Tuesdays from 15:00–to 17:00, except the Leadership online conference in February which is an all-day event. We expect you to take part in online discussions once a week, usually in the evenings. There are only online lectures (no campus visits are needed) and there are no lectures during weekends.
