About this course

At the European Master in Health Economics and Management (Eu-HEM) you will develop competences and expertise in the field of health economics and policy, health care management, health law and regulation.

EUHEM prepares students to staff and executive positions in organizations, institutions and companies involved in health care provision. A key to the fulfillment of steady job in this sector is awareness of the societal relevance of health care and the implied constraints imposed by social rules, regulations and the law. The programme therefore aims to develop competences and expertise in the field of health economics and policy, health care management, health law and regulation.

The prospective candidate will develop:

Ability to use disciplines and concepts required in formulating, implementing and evaluating strategic choices in health care
Knowledge of key options in the policy, planning and financing of health care services
Understanding of the diversity of international health policies
International and comparative views on solutions and best practices
Practical experience in managerial issues;
Long-run orientation in problem analysis and solving
Basic quantitative skills and the ability to apply them in a problem-solving context;
Communication and co-operation skills
Knowledge of the objectives of health care systems and how the choice of objective may carry over to priority setting

For health care managers, policy analysts and academic researchers, knowledge of multiple relevant disciplines and an international view and network are keys to understanding and solving the problems that health care systems and health care services are facing in the 21st century.

An international master degree is strongly supported by future employers in international organizations, hospitals and care organizations, governmental agencies, and research institutions.
