About the Program
The research-oriented Master's program 'Health Care Management' is offered by the Faculty of Business Administration at Campus Essen. The program has an interdisciplinary approach due to the strong social, health policy, and legal penetration of the healthcare system: Medical Systems and Methods (for non-physicians), Health Care Informatics and Technology Assessment, Ethics, Medical Law, Political Science, Health Economics, Health Care Management, and Business Administration. Medical fundamentals (for business students) and business fundamentals (for medical and health science students) are given broad coverage. In the core areas of Health Care Management and Health Economics, the programs focus on the scientific contexts of management tasks in the healthcare system. Graduates should be employable in various areas of healthcare (associations, authorities, health insurance companies, hospitals, and innovative areas such as network management of integrated care), especially at interfaces between management and scientific research. The program is aimed at graduates of a business administration bachelor's program or at physicians or graduates of a health sciences bachelor's program. The master's programs build on the prior knowledge acquired in the first degree and are therefore considered 'consecutive'. The successful completion of the master's examination entitles the graduate to pursue a doctorate.
