Earn a British degree with international recognition

Graduates earn a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria. It is a qualification you can take into conversations about your career, whether your ambitions lie in Curaçao or further afield.

Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year

You can complete the programme entirely online, with no need to relocate or put your life in Willemstad on hold. The MBA can be completed in as little as one year, offering a route for professionals eager to build on their experience.

That flexibility makes it possible to keep moving towards your goals alongside work and personal commitments. You can invest in your development today while continuing to contribute to the people and organisations that matter to you.

Study without scheduled online attendance

The programme does not require you to be online at specific times or dates. Instead of organising your week around live sessions, you can engage with your studies at times that work for you, while meeting the programme’s academic requirements.

Whether your most productive hours come before work or after a busy day, you can establish a study routine that fits your life. That freedom is especially valuable when professional responsibilities or time zones make fixed attendance difficult.

Take your learning wherever you go

Study from Willemstad, elsewhere in Curaçao or wherever your travels take you. Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline, helping you make use of time even when your internet connection is limited.

A journey or a change of surroundings need not interrupt your progress. With your learning materials close at hand, you can stay connected to your ambitions while remaining open to opportunities beyond your usual routine.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

The programme uses open-book assessments rather than classical question-and-answer exams. This approach gives you opportunities to work with ideas and resources as you develop and demonstrate your understanding.

For aspiring healthcare leaders, the ability to evaluate information and apply concepts thoughtfully is valuable. Open-book assessment encourages you to focus not just on recalling knowledge, but on how you use it.

Learn from an internationally educated faculty

Programme tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied academic backgrounds contribute to a learning experience shaped by different perspectives.

As you examine management challenges and develop your own approach to leadership, that breadth can encourage fresh questions and wider thinking. It is an opportunity to learn from people whose educational journeys have crossed borders, while pursuing your own degree from Willemstad.

Join a community spanning more than 130 countries

The diverse student base includes learners from over 130 countries. Encountering different professional experiences and viewpoints can broaden the way you think about healthcare organisations and the people they serve.

Alumni work for international organisations including AbbVie, AMGEN, gsk, Novartis, Roche, Pfizer, Sanofi, Merck, Medtronic, Abbott Laboratories, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths reflect the breadth of fields in which management skills can be relevant.

Plan your investment with monthly instalments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This option lets you spread payments over time rather than making them all at once.

Clearer payment planning can make it easier to fit postgraduate study into your existing commitments. As you consider the next stage of your career, you can choose a payment schedule that supports your plans.

Bring an international perspective to opportunities in Willemstad

Willemstad’s healthcare services and public-health organisations operate within a small-island setting where resources, access and service quality all matter. Graduates may be able to draw on the programme’s management ideas when thinking about service improvement, team leadership and decisions that affect patients and communities.

Tourism is another important part of Curaçao’s economy. Hotels, visitor services and the organisations that support them depend on effective approaches to health, safety and wellbeing. An international healthcare management perspective may help graduates contribute to conversations about how these sectors prepare for and respond to health-related needs.

As a port city with international connections, Willemstad also brings together people, employers and services across borders. Graduates interested in workplace wellbeing, cross-organisational collaboration or the coordination of health-related services can use the programme’s theory to explore challenges with both local relevance and international reach.
