Medical Management

The degree program offers a wide range of topics. The curriculum primarily lays the medical foundations for the structure and function of the human body, as well as for diagnostics and therapy. The program is further enriched by the fundamentals of infrastructure and information systems in healthcare, medical ethics, data protection and data security, mathematical and statistical methods, methods of scientific work in healthcare, business administration and health economics, management-related content such as self-management, teamwork and leadership skills, and quality management and assurance.

The seven-semester program allows students to complete the practical training phase (BPP) and the project phase in healthcare institutions. The unique study structure, with its various Elective modules and practical phases, enables students to develop their own professional profile.

        Due to the many IT-supported processes and the digital transformation in healthcare, the use of digital tools, for example in the context of telemedicine, has become part of everyday life. Therefore, competent use of this medium is an essential component of the future professional profile. The combination of online and in-person instruction ideally prepares students for their future careers. The Department opted for an innovative combination of online and in-person teaching. The hybrid teaching concept Department's offers the necessary flexibility for a family-friendly study environment and less geographical constraints. From a sustainability perspective, this also allows us to focus mobility on what is necessary and reduce costs for students.

The courses in the Bachelor's program in Medical Management at the Department of Health and Social Sciences (GES) are offered both online and in person. Generally, in-person instruction takes place on two fixed days per week and online instruction on three fixed days per week each semester. The schedule of days will be communicated to students in a timely and appropriate manner at the beginning of each semester. Modules can be delivered entirely in person, entirely online, or a combination of both formats, taking into account the designated online and in-person days. In both formats, the courses will be held at the scheduled time (live, according to the regular timetable).

The explained division of weekdays into in-person and online teaching can, in practice, look like this for semesters 1 to 7 of the Bachelor's degree program in Medical Management:
