The Master’s in Health Management is recognized for promoting career advancement, enabling you to manage healthcare institutions (both nationally and internationally), enhance the performance of these organizations and health systems, as well as conduct research and contribute to knowledge in the core areas of health management, particularly health policy and administration.
Professionals with a degree in fields related to Public Health, interested in taking on management roles in healthcare, who are already working in the sector and wish to progress to management positions, or those who are not yet working but aim to do so, both nationally and internationally, as well as those wishing to pursue an academic career by later enrolling in a doctoral program.
“This Master’s degree has a highly experienced and academically recognized teaching staff. The groups created are usually very diverse, in terms of basic training, age and experience, which leads to the emergence of very rich working groups that guarantee an important sharing of experiences.
We have an internationally validated curriculum plan that adapts to the specificities of management in the health sector. It is also possible to adapt training to each student through the numerous optional curricular units available.”

When I took on the role of service director in a hospital, I felt the need to enhance my training. This Master’s program emerged as the best option: in addition to the School’s renowned reputation and its faculty, the areas covered during the academic year proved to be highly relevant to the tasks I need to perform.

In addition to the valuable diversity of students, I found a challenging and engaging faculty, open to collaboratively defining personalized learning paths and encouraging each student to surpass themselves; while also demanding a meaningful contribution from each student toward the development of the institution.
