Health Care Management

In four semesters of standard study time, you will be taught the most important topics on a part-time basis. The attendance times are manageable and usually take place at the weekend. The study programme can thus be completed flexibly alongside your job. In the first two semesters, basic management knowledge is taught. This includes topics such as business management, human resources and taxes. Soft skills also play an important role. Here you can train important skills for everyday working life. This includes presentation techniques and rhetoric. From the third semester onwards, the focus is more specifically on topics from the health sector. These modules are offered, among others:

Health evaluation
Health management
Hospital management
The fourth semester is mainly used to write the Master's thesis. In the best case, a topic from everyday professional life can be chosen and worked on using a scientific approach. This is where the clear advantages of a part-time MBA programme become apparent. The theoretical knowledge from the degree programme can be directly applied in practice. On the other hand, the practical experience from professional life can have a very positive effect on the understanding of the study contents.

Within the framework of the modules Health Management and Hospital Management (Hospital Financing, Corporate Planning and Operational Control, Management and Control Instruments), "Specialised Health Economics Knowledge" is taught. Through these modules, students are given the opportunity to specialise with regard to their interests, professional fields and company-specific necessities.

The study contents are divided into eleven modules, which can also be booked and completed individually.

In addition to interactive learning via an internet platform, classroom events take place at regular intervals. All modules are taught by professors from the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena, the University of Jena, the Universities of Leipzig and Dresden, as well as highly qualified, professionally experienced lecturers from the field.
