Annotation
Are you interested in the healthcare industry? Are numbers your thing? Then the degree programme with vocational and academic elements in Health Management could be just right for you. The course prepares you specifically for your professional future at the interface of health and business administration. You will deal with topics such as health care management, human resources & organisation, health economics and digital business models. You will apply what you have learned directly at your practice partner. After completing your course, you will be able to take on administrative and advisory tasks – in hospitals or treatment and fitness centres, for example.
In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements at the IU, you will study in one of the following two study models. In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements, lectures take place on two days per week on campus – occasionally also online via live video conference. Students then reinforce what they have learned using the learning materials. The "myStudium" degree programme with vocational and academic elements combines flexible self-study with digital learning formats. You will acquire the theory independently via myCampus – supported by innovative learning materials and Syntea, your personal AI learning assistant. Optionally, you can participate in weekly virtual accompanying courses as well as use other interactive live formats to deepen your knowledge.
