Master’s degree
Health Services Research and Management

► Why study Health Service Research and Management?

Sustainable and evidence-based innovations are necessary to meet the socio-demographic changes as well as social developments in our society and the constant technical progress in health care.

In order to develop, implement and evaluate innovative solutions that meet and counteract the challenges of health care, a comprehensive understanding of health care structures is necessary. But it also requires methodological competencies to systematically and participatively identify the gaps in demand with the relevant stakeholders and to develop appropriate care concepts. There is already a high demand for specialists with relevant expertise in health services research, health care and health services management at regional, national and global level, and this demand is expected to grow strongly in the future.

Become part of the interdisciplinary, project-oriented master's program in healthcare research and management at TH Rosenheim!

The program is modular and interprofessional. Students with competencies in areas such as diagnosis, therapy methods and service provision in the healthcare sector study together with fellow students who have competencies in areas such as the financing and remuneration of healthcare services. These perspectives are based on different theoretical foundations and logics of action. The strength of the program is to sensitize students to the different perspectives, to reflect on them, to analyze them and to integrate them into decision-making processes through this interprofessional exchange in the program.

Our German-taught Master's program has a standard duration of 3 semesters. We strive to offer individualized study plans, as modules are independent of each other and the study duration can be extended by up to 2 additional semesters.
