This four-semester Master's programme at WSB Merito University in Wrocław is taught entirely in English. It is aimed at first-degree graduates who want to organise, manage and promote health on a local and international scale.
You learn how healthcare is organised and financed, and how to read health data with biostatistics so that the needs of a population become visible. Core classes include medical law, demography, health insurance, quality management and sanitary and epidemiological supervision, alongside accounting and data security in healthcare.
The programme also looks at how health is shaped outside the clinic. You study lifestyle medicine, health promotion, social pathologies and therapeutic programmes, as well as the marketing of medical services and the management of international health programmes. You learn to monitor threats, respond to health crises and plan strategies that strengthen the system.
The specialisation is Healthcare Management. Its classes include budgeting and controlling in healthcare organisations, evaluation of medical technologies, risk management, telemedicine and e-health, restructuring in healthcare, and oncological care organisation.
Professional placements are spread across the whole course of study, and classes use group projects, simulations, case studies and lectures by practitioners. Individual subjects are assessed through projects, presentations and written or oral exams, with a practical emphasis on professional skills. You finish by writing and defending a Master's thesis.
Every class is taught in English, and extra language classes deepen your command of the language further.
