The degree program has a standard duration of study of four semesters and consists of compulsory modules, elective modules and the Master’s phase.

In the compulsory area in the first and second semester, a holistic perspective of health management and health economics is taught. In the elective area (second and third semesters), students can choose from a broad range of different modules, setting individual focal points depending on their preferences and career expectations. There is also the opportunity to complete a semester abroad by taking equivalent courses at a foreign university. Furthermore, students have the possibility of taking two further health-related Master’s modules at the faculty, the university or also at other universities in Germany and abroad within the framework of free elective modules. Seminars with reference to recent topics in cooperation with partners of the university promote important competencies for entering the profession. The degree program is completed with the Master’s phase, which consists of a Master’s thesis and a Master’s seminar.

This degree program is aimed at all graduates with Bachelor’s degrees in business studies who are interested in healthcare. Previous knowledge of business and economics is required but knowledge of heath management/health economics is not necessary.

The program is taught in German. Therefore, a good knowledge of German is an essential prerequisite to successfully completing the degree program.

The master´s program prepares students for both a career in practice and a scientific career. While the interdisciplinary core curriculum ensures the acquisition of fundamental knowledge in all areas of healthcare, the elective area allows students to specialize. With the wide range of specialization options, graduates have career opportunities in all sectors of healthcare.
