Can a manager make a significant influence in the healthcare sector? High-quality healthcare is of major importance, as it directly influences individual well-being and the overall functioning of our society. As a healthcare manager, policymaker, or consultant, you will be vital in improving and innovating healthcare at all levels.
In the MSc Business Administration - Health (MSc BA Health), you will study how to analyze and deal with strategic tensions in healthcare such as meeting the increasing demand for care, while facing workforce shortages and the need to control costs. The programme integrates a multidisciplinary approach with special attention to relevant topics in the health sector and our society. For example, the role of technology and innovation: how can you balance the utilization of technological advancements with human attention for clients and satisfactory work for health professionals? We teach you the tools on how to balance the provision of evidence-based care with catering for diverse patient needs.
You can specialize in managerial or economic issues, depending on where you want to add value. We make sure to bring the outside practice to the classroom. You will meet lecturers from diverse disciplines sharing their research insights and guest lecturers who bring in practitioners’ knowledge and real-world challenges. This enables you to explore different perspectives on healthcare, including those from clients, clinicians, managers, insurers, and policymakers.
The MSc BA Health is the perfect study if you are looking for a multidisciplinary and societally relevant programme. It combines analytic and managerial skills and offers a crisp understanding of the social-economic environment in the healthcare industry. What is more, you are joining our diverse community of students with backgrounds in business, medicine, economics and facility management.
