Master of Business Administration (MBA) Public Health and Sustainability

Duration: 12 Months
Credit Hours: 180
ECTS: 90
Level: HE7
Mode of Delivery: Hybrid (Online/Onsite at different locations across the world)

Overview

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Public Health and Sustainability at the London Institute of Sustainable Development (LISD) is a postgraduate programme designed to prepare forward‑thinking leaders who can strengthen health systems, advance digital public health, and embed sustainable, equitable health practices across organisations and communities. Rooted in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the programme integrates advanced management education with a strong emphasis on ethical leadership, population health improvement, environmental health, and innovation in digital health systems.

Unlike a traditional Master of Public Health (MPH), which focuses primarily on epidemiology, biostatistics, and public health science, this MBA in Public Health and Sustainability is designed for professionals who need to lead organisations, manage complex systems, and drive strategic transformation across health and care settings. The programme emphasises organisational leadership, strategic management, financial stewardship, digital transformation, and system‑wide change capabilities essential for senior roles in public health, health policy, health systems administration, and cross‑sector leadership.
This distinction ensures that graduates are not only grounded in public health principles but also equipped with the managerial, strategic, and operational expertise required to influence policy, lead multidisciplinary teams, and shape sustainable, high‑performing health systems.
Learners develop critical expertise in public health strategy, sustainable health system development, and responsible governance, while strengthening their ability to apply data‑driven insights and digital technologies to complex health challenges. The programme enables students to evaluate and respond to global health dynamics, integrating sustainability principles into strategic decision‑making and organisational development.
Graduates emerge as capable and ethical public health leaders, prepared to guide organisations towards resilient, innovative, and future‑ready operations that balance efficiency, population wellbeing, and social impact in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly evolving global health environment.

A One of-a-Kind Initiative

At the London Institute of Sustainable Development (LISD), the Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Public Health and Sustainability offers a distinctive blend of public health expertise, strategic management, and system-wide leadership, making it well suited to professionals who aim to shape the future of health and care. Unlike traditional MPH programmes, this MBA equips learners with the organisational, financial, and strategic capabilities required to lead complex health systems, influence policy, and drive sustainable transformation.
The programme integrates digital public health, health analytics, sustainable health systems, and values-based leadership, ensuring that graduates are prepared to navigate the challenges of an era defined by rapid technological change, widening inequalities, and increasing global interdependence. With a strong emphasis on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), students learn to address the structural determinants of health while promoting equity, resilience, and long-term population wellbeing.
Through applied consultancy projects, real-world case studies, and cross-sector collaboration, learners develop the confidence and capability to lead across organisational boundaries. The MBA offers a global outlook with local relevance, grounding international frameworks in the realities of UK public health practice and integrated care.
Purpose-driven and future-focused, the MBA in Public Health and Sustainability empowers graduates to become strategic, ethical, and innovative leaders capable of delivering meaningful impact across communities, organisations, and health systems.
