MBA International Healthcare Management: Grow from Zagreb, Croatia
Build your future in healthcare leadership without leaving Zagreb. The MBA International Healthcare Management is offered by the University of Cumbria in exclusive partnership with Robert Kennedy College. Its online format lets you develop management knowledge while continuing your work and life in Croatia.
Whether you want to lead teams, navigate change or contribute to healthcare innovation, the programme offers ideas and frameworks you can apply in international settings.
Earn a British degree with international recognition
Graduate with a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria. It is a qualification you can present as you explore opportunities across borders and throughout your career.
For professionals in an internationally connected field, studying through a British university can bring a valuable perspective to conversations with colleagues, employers and partners around the world.
Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year
You can complete the programme entirely online, in as little as one year. There is no need to relocate or put your plans in Zagreb on hold to pursue an MBA.
That pace can help you build on your experience while your ambitions are taking shape. Study toward your next step alongside the professional and personal commitments that matter to you.
Study without fixed online attendance times
The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates. You can engage with your studies at hours that work for you, rather than arranging your life around scheduled virtual classes.
This flexibility is especially useful when workdays change, projects demand extra attention or you collaborate across time zones. Your learning can fit around a busy life without losing its place in it.
Take your learning wherever life takes you
Study from Zagreb or anywhere else in the world. If work or travel takes you away from home, your coursework can travel with you.
Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. Make use of a journey, a quiet evening away or a break between commitments—even when you cannot stay connected.
Show what you know through open-book assessments
Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you room to consult resources as you develop and present your thinking.
It is an opportunity to focus on understanding concepts and applying them to management challenges—not simply recalling information under exam conditions.
Learn with internationally educated faculty
Learn from tutors and faculty whose educational backgrounds include world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.
The perspectives they bring can broaden the way you think about leadership, strategy and healthcare management, encouraging you to examine challenges from more than one angle.
Join a community that spans the globe
Study alongside a diverse student base representing over 130 countries. Conversations with people who bring different experiences can enrich your learning and help you build a broader professional outlook.
Alumni work for international organisations and companies including AbbVie, Amgen, GSK, Novartis, Roche, Pfizer, Sanofi, Merck, Medtronic, Abbott Laboratories, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths reflect the breadth of the wider graduate community.
Plan your investment with monthly instalments
Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This gives you a straightforward way to spread the cost over time.
With a clear payment schedule, you can plan your studies alongside your other commitments and focus on the knowledge and skills you want to develop.
Connect your ambitions to opportunities in Zagreb
Zagreb is home to pharmaceutical and life-sciences activity, offering graduates a setting in which to consider questions of strategy, operations and organisational change. International healthcare management knowledge may help you approach work with companies, suppliers and partners whose decisions cross borders.
As Croatia’s capital and a centre for healthcare services, Zagreb also offers opportunities to think about how organisations deliver care and manage resources. The programme’s management frameworks can support graduates who want to contribute to service improvement, team leadership or collaboration across healthcare organisations.
Zagreb’s technology sector creates another point of connection, particularly where digital tools meet healthcare needs. For graduates interested in health technology, data-enabled services or partnerships between technology and care providers, an international management perspective can help turn promising ideas into considered plans.
