Details
The demand for experienced and qualified professionals in the healthcare sector is high. For years, the growth numbers in this area have been impressive - and against the backdrop of demographic developments, this trend is likely to continue for many more years. This brings the debate about the shortage of skilled workers into focus time and time again. In the healthcare sector, this shortage not only applies to sought-after nursing professionals and therapists, but also to qualified management personnel in healthcare facilities such as clinics, hospitals, and care facilities.
The interdisciplinary Master's programme "Healthcare Management" (M.A.) offers you practical knowledge in five semesters as an online distance learning programme, covering essential areas ranging from empirical methods to management skills and process management for prospective executives, among others, within a standard period of study. The focus of the programme is on a profound scientific reflection of current and future management tasks, preparing you in particular for the challenges of a position in senior management in healthcare facilities.
During your studies, you can also choose your personal, professionally oriented focus to further deepen your skills.
Study focuses in the Master's programme Healthcare Management are:
• Management in Hospitals and Clinics (KuK)
• Management in Healthcare Facilities and Nursing Services (GuP)
