Based in London, the UCL GBSH is the world’s first business school dedicated to health.
A qualified executive coach and psychometric assessor, Dr Davies has significant senior leadership experience in business and management education. Previously a Reader at Manchester Metropolitan, she has also delivered the Open University’s MBA for over 25 years. Dr Davies has a PhD in strategic management at Warwick University, an MBA and MA in Education, a law degree and a first degree in modern languages
On the MBA Health programme, students will gain the knowledge of a traditional MBA while focusing on the practical application of leadership and management skills in health care. This includes a consultancy project working with a health sector client and a Global Health Project where students travel to a low- or middle-income country to devise solutions to a health system problem.
Applications for the MBA Health programme are currently open, with the programme starting in September 2022.
