Learning Outcomes

During the Eu-HEM programme, students will develop competences and expertise in the fields of health economics, healthcare management, health policy, and health law and regulation. Students will also acquire skills in essential analytical methods.

A key to the fulfilment of a steady job in this sector is awareness of the societal relevance of healthcare and the constraints imposed by social rules, regulations and the law.

• Students can develop an interdisciplinary understanding of challenges in healthcare policy and management.
• Students fulfil the academic and methodological requirements for a PhD programme in the field of health economics and management.
