International Public Health Management, MSc*

The Master degree programme International Public Health Management is based on the idea of providing an interdisciplinary, international and research-oriented management education for planning, development and controlling tasks in the public health sector. The aim of the degree programme is to impart qualifications which, in the sense of entrepreneurial thinking and acting, prepare students for the future requirements of a top management position in the public health sector with leadership and management responsibility.

 

The programme applies basic business administration and management skills (HR, Finance) to the specifics of the public health sector and combines them with core skills (health prevention, epidemiology) and complementary skills (research methodologies, CSR). The MSc in International Public Health Management focuses on the provision of a multidisciplinary, critically analytical and practice-based approach to the main challenges and issues in international public health management, planning and policy, which face the providers of health and health-related services.

The Master's programme in International Public Health Management is logically structured in such a way that in the first two semesters you are taught the theoretical basics, which include essential business knowledge and skills. In the third semester, you will deepen the skills you have learned in a more practice-oriented final project, accompanied by necessary complementary skills such as research methodology or leadership. In the fourth semester, you apply all your knowledge and skills in the Master's thesis.

 

This covers all the important healthcare functions and healthcare management tasks in a hospital, as well as the impact of decisions at local and international level on the respective activity.

 

Depending on the scope of study you choose, a capstone project is scheduled in the third semester. Although semesters abroad and internships are not regularly scheduled, they can also be individually integrated into the Public Health Master's programme if you are interested.

Since all important functions of administration in a hospital or health organisation are covered, graduates of this degree programme can basically work in any hospital, health organisation or health centre, which also includes tasks of public health administration and project management in the health sector.

 

The broad range of topics offered in our M.Sc. in International Public Health Management prepares our graduates perfectly for their future careers. In principle, they can work in leadership positions in the field of public health and health management at local or international level.

 

This includes, for example, the following positions:

 

  • Health Care Manager
  • Account manager for clinics
  • Consultant for occupational health management
  • Health care management consultant
  • Quality Manager

If you have successfully completed your Public Health studies, the average starting salary is around 2,000 to 3,000 € gross per month. With a few years of experience, you can already expect average salaries of €2,900 to €4,000 gross per month in the sector, and around €6,200 to €7,500 in a managerial position.

 

As in most other professions, the size and location of the company as well as the specific profession are decisive for the salary. In social and educational institutions and organisations, for example, wages are correspondingly lower than in public health care. Pharmaceutical companies and consulting firms, on the other hand, are the top payers.

You can find more information on financing your studies on our website on study fees and financing.

 

The contemporary international health environment requires a restructured public national health system taking the lead in maintaining and improving public health. This policy agenda emphasizes strongly the need for good leadership, and within that requires the development of a vision and of practices in public health administration, appropriate for the organization of public health services in today’s global environment.

 

The Master is created in order to fulfill the achievement of this objective. It builds on the research and teaching strengths to ensure that graduates will be able to administer public health services and administration on the basis of a sound understanding of theories and practices of management and public health.
