Are you already familiar with the structures, challenges and actors of the healthcare system from your studies – but you would like to acquire additional managerial and business skills? The Master’s degree course in Medical Management for Medical Practitioners and Healthcare Professionals combines health science and medical expertise with in-depth knowledge of management, health economics and health policy.
The research-oriented degree course provides economic perspectives on the healthcare system and supplements this with content from medical law, ethics and political science. The focus is on the academic examination of managerial roles in a highly regulated and socially relevant environment.
Graduates qualify for specialist and managerial roles in hospitals, health insurance companies, associations, authorities and other healthcare organisations. They are particularly in demand where medical or health science expertise must be combined with management knowledge. The degree course also provides a pathway to the doctorate and thus offers ideal conditions for an academic career in the healthcare sector.
