Hello dear experts.
I am considering applying to UCL MBA Health. My background is Engineering, and Business Administration. My family business involves trading medical products. Although I am not a medical professional, I've met with the dean in a 1-on-1 session on Zoom, and she mentioned that I am eligible to apply since I dealt with distributing/doing business with medical-related things.
A thing I would like to know is: After the completion, can I still apply to other business jobs apart from healthcare/pharma related with that degree as it still includes 'MBA' in the title 'MBA Health'? Can it still be considered an MBA as well?
Thank you very much !
Does MBA Specialization matter?

Focus on your goals. That's a new MBA in a new business school with little brand equity and few resources.

Thank you sir.
I've just had a look at it. Does a new MBA at a top-ranking university like UCL can make initiatives in the industry as I've found out that they have been doing industry partnerships, guest speakers, field visits, projects, and such interactive activities?
I plan to work in Singapore after the completion. My other applied programmes are -
MiM @ LSE
MiM @ Uni of Edinburgh
MSc Investment Management @ Bayes
MSc Finance @ NUS
MSc Management @ NUS

I'm sure the learning environment is adequate for learning about the healthcare business. However, as you and others have discussed sooooooo often, you should focus on clarifying your goals and then finding the best-placed available school for your goals. That's obviously not UCL, it's NUS. So the choice is between their MiF and their MiM. The MiF is very well designed, and I think that's a great choice if you want to work in finance.
