Population Health Management

Working in health care changes rapidly. Besides good doctors and excellent lab researchers we need people who understand health care and are capable of changing the system. Population Health Management delivers those professionals. Are you looking for more than being a doctor or researcher? Today's health care system faces many challenges: ageing populations, rising health care costs, fragmented health care supply and advancing medical technologies and IT systems. Health care professionals will require new competences to meet these challenges in the current health care system. Population Health Management aims at tackling these challenges in a broad sense and has emerged as an important strategy for health care worldwide. The two year programme combines knowledge insights from epidemiology, data analysis in healthcare, medicine, public administration and behavioral sciences into a globally unique interdisciplinary program. Students with various backgrounds work together through a combination of both online- and intensive on-campus education. At the end of the programme, you will be prepared to work as an interdisciplinary academic trusted partner, contributing - as a strategic broker - to the changes needed in today's fragmented healthcare system. This is requested in a wide range of healthcare organizations and businesses and government.
