The Master’s degree programme in Medical Management for Economists combines economics expertise with in-depth knowledge of healthcare. In addition to management and health economics issues, the course teaches interdisciplinary skills in medicine, law, ethics and politics. Due to the close integration of economics and healthcare, students are prepared for demanding roles at the intersection between management, science and health policy.
The research-oriented degree programme qualifies students for specialist and leadership roles at health insurance companies, hospitals, associations, government agencies and in innovative care and consulting structures. At the same time, the Master’s degree opens the door to a doctorate. The degree course is aimed at graduates of Bachelor’s degree programmes in Economics who are interested in the challenges of one of the most important markets of the future and would like to play an active role in shaping the development of the healthcare system.
