The degree programme is of modular structure. It encompasses a total of 18 modules with defined objectives and thematic fields. Each module or sub-module ends with an examination after one or two semesters. Students in the sixth semester are required to complete a twelve-week practical phase.
Together with the theoretical structural knowledge gained in the natural sciences, information technology, public health and business administration subjects in the first few semesters (including, inter alia, Commercial Mathematics, Cost Accounting) the students are prepared for applying their knowledge and know-how methodologically and systematically to practice-orientated problems. To achieve this, the career-field relevant basic knowledge is taught under consideration of the interfaciallyrelated competences.
After graduating from their studies, the graduates are able to solve business-related problems with scientifically-based methods. In IT departments or IT companies and businesses, they will become much sought-after colleagues with their interfacial knowledge composed of IT, Medicine and Business Administration and will head and carry out IT projects.
Alternatively, they can take up a consecutive postgraduate degree programme leading to a Master of Science in Health Care Management at the Hochschule Niederrhein or take up another Master's degree programme.
