What is the content of the course of studies?

The Bachelor’s degree course in Rescue Management qualifies students for a position in middle-level rescue service management, for example as head of a rescue station, a rescue service area or the department of an emergency organisation. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that everything runs smoothly, preparing and planning operations and managing the staff assigned to you. Depending on your field of activity, you may also be responsible not only for personnel but also for budgets.

The course covers a wide range of topics: management theories, business know-how and background information on the structure and organisation of rescue service systems. In addition, several study modules aim to promote personal and social skills as a modern manager. A particular advantage is the part-time nature of the degree programme. This ensures a close link between theory and practice. You bring experience from your everyday professional life into the programme and can use the knowledge and skills taught in the seminars in your field of work from the very first semester. Module M13 “Occupational Health and Safety and Hygiene” gives you the opportunity to acquire three attractive additional qualifications, which are recognised nationwide, without any additional time or financial outlay. Certification as a hygiene officer, safety officer and internal auditor for occupational health and safety management can increase your chances of a successful career start in many fields of activity.

You will be able to work analytically using a suitable repertoire of methods and develop scientifically based problem-solving approaches for practical application. After successfully completing your degree programme, you will have the best possible qualifications to further develop the rescue service as part of public services in a systematic and needs-based manner.

In what fields/subject areas can I work?

The demand for academically qualified managers in the emergency services is high. The demands on rescue service management have been increasing for years, and the development of target-oriented solutions is becoming ever more complex: increasing cost pressure, demographic change and changes in operational procedures are just a few keywords of great importance. Rescue managers are urgently needed who can put their expertise into practice and not only manage the rescue service, but also develop it further in an innovative and scientifically sound manner.

In order for aid organisations and rescue service companies to remain competitive in the long term, they need managers who have in-depth knowledge of the organisation and the overall system of the German rescue services, have business expertise and can assume socially competent personnel responsibility.

What is the content of the course of studies?

Current developments in the health sector call for an increasing academisation of health professions such as nursing and therapy professions or midwifery. In medical training, innovative high didactic concepts are gaining in importance. Keywords in this context are Best Evidence Medical Education (BEME) or Best Evidence Health Professionals Education (BEHPE).

The Master’s programme is aimed at graduates of human medicine and dentistry, therapy and nursing sciences, medical education, medical management, public health / health sciences and other health-related degree programmes. It therefore addresses the entire spectrum of medicine and health professionals. The MSH focuses on an interdisciplinary and sector-integrating university concept and thus follows the recommendations of the German Science Council, among others, for inter-professional cooperation to improve the quality of health care.

The part-time model gives students in the family phase the opportunity to gain further academic qualifications alongside work and family. The courses take place on four block weekends per semester.

The Master’s programme was designed taking into account international standards of the World Federation for Medical Education (WMF) at the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) level. The common thread of the curriculum is the CanMeds framework concept based on the National Competence-based Learning Objectives Catalogue for Medicine (NKLM). In particular, the roles of the scholar, the communicator and the collaborator are addressed throughout and reflected on during the course.

The goals of the Master’s programme in Medical and Health Education are to enable students to teach independently, based on research and evidence, as well as to work practically on a scientific basis in all dimensions of higher education teaching and educational management in the tertiary education sector.

Study content:

Dimensions of teaching professionalism
Teaching and learning I: Didactics of the health professions
Teaching and learning II: Systematic planning of courses and competence-oriented examinations
Teaching and Learning III: Interdisciplinarity and interprofessionalism in medical and health professions education
Teaching and Learning IV: Digitalisation in higher education teaching

Where can I find employment later on?

Potential employers are all institutions that have a place in the digital health sector, i.e. healthcare providers (including hospitals), health insurers, pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, companies in the hardware and software industry, associations, chambers, universities and health policy. Not least to be mentioned are start-ups, which have a high share in the current dynamics in the health sector.

Concrete places of employment are, for example:

Medical technology companies
Pharmaceutical companies
Software companies (app developers)
Statutory health insurance companies and private health insurers
Hospitals, outpatient health care facilities and nursing homes
Public/governmental institutions (authorities, associations)

The future prospects are excellent. The digitisation of the German healthcare system is at the top of the agenda. Without this development, the German healthcare system will achieve neither the quality nor the efficiency goals. Since the development “actually” only began in 2016, there is still a long way to go, which our graduates can and should help shape in a wide variety of places. A look at job portals shows the growing demand in this segment, especially since such an interdisciplinary education is not reflected in the classic degree programmes. Our students report that they are already involved in practice as working students and experience an uninterrupted transition into professional life.

In what fields/subject areas can I work?

Graduates of the master’s programme DIGITAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT support the digital transformation of the German healthcare system. They develop, test, implement and monitor digital solutions based on an interdisciplinary understanding of the processes. You can say that you moderate and lead these change processes!

Helping to shape and drive the digital transformation process in the health sector is the overarching educational goal of the Master’s programme in Digital Health Management. While the focus in healthcare institutions is increasingly on strategic issues, the development on the part of IT producers and service providers also offers enormous potential. As a digital health manager, you can mediate at the interface of product and health system and help digital applications gain market access.

Note: The start-up scene in the German health landscape is growing. Many young companies are working on patient-related services. The possibility of also being able to place apps via prescriptions, i.e. in the 1st health market, opens up exciting prospects for new business models. Here, too, many options open up for you to actively shape the healthcare system of the future.
