Semesters and courses
The first semester is aimed at acquiring fundamentals of Economics, Management, Statistics and Econometrics. These courses are complemented by an introduction to Ethics and electives on Political Sciences and Law. The first semester courses are offered at the University of Bologna.
The second and third semesters are devoted to the development of advanced and specialised skills on current issues in the healthcare sector. Eu-HEM students choose one out of four specialisation tracks. Each specialization track is taught by two of the partner universities in cooperation, and students spend one semester at each university delivering the track.
The fourth semester is dedicated to the master thesis. Students will write a scientific master thesis on a topic related to one of the subjects covered within the specialisation of their choice. The objective of the thesis is to show that the student is able to perform scientific research individually and to report and discuss the study and its conclusions in a clear way. Suggestions for a master thesis topic can be made by the student, a lecturer or an external party from the public or private sector.
