About the programme

Health Sciences and Management is a German-taught Master of Science at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences on the Kleve campus.

The second covers occupational health management, nutrition, European health systems and policy, ethics in healthcare and healthcare business management, with a second applied research project with partners from the field. The third semester is for your master's thesis and colloquium. The programme lasts three semesters full time or six part time, also work-integrated and starts on 1 September or 1 March.
