Four part-time Reuben students from the University’s inaugural MSc in Global Healthcare Leadership programme recently visited the College and attended Formal Hall.  Segun Dawodu, Jae Kullar, Shawn Mathis, and Owen O’Sullivan were hosted at the dinner by Reuben College President, Prof. Lionel Tarassenko.

The MSc is a highly practical programme, designed for experienced healthcare managers and leaders with over five years' relevant professional experience. The multi-disciplinary Master’s degree is led by the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences in partnership with Saïd Business School, creating an innovative and integrated programme that harnesses the University’s world-leading expertise in healthcare, business and policy.
