Statement of our Graduates
-
“This Master's program was a milestone for my personal and professional development. The basic modules provided the important scientific foundation, while the major courses allowed for specialization in individual areas of interest. What I particularly liked about the Major in Health Behavior and Management was that I was able to directly observe and apply the new knowledge in my everyday life and environment.”

“As a Philosophy undergraduate and healthcare worker, the Master in Health Sciences gave me the opportunity to bring these two paths together: By means of its majors, hands-on skills and methodical approach, the Master gave me the chance to pursue my interests in health economics, develop my potential and boost my career.”
Giancarlo Marin ¦ M.Sc. in Health Sciences, Major Health Economics and Policy
