The provision of health and care services has become more complex, costly and intensive. It must be provided in ever shorter time frames, in increasingly complex organisations and beyond their borders, and take account of changing social conditions. The ageing population, fewer births, migration and ethnic change are just some of the factors that indicate changing needs in healthcare. This is why highly qualified healthcare professionals have a future - all the more so if they use scientifically sound measures whose quality is monitored. With the degree programme in Nursing & Healthcare Management, we are preparing you specifically to make an important contribution to overcoming these challenges and to help shape the healthcare management of tomorrow.
