Master of Science in Health Management

The Master of Science in Health Management with its 2 specializations: the Master of Science in International Health Management and the Master of Science in Public Health Management has been designed by the International Telematic University UNINETTUNO in order to provide the necessary knowledge and expertise to senior managers and leaders of the health sector. The emphasis is on public health management in an international and local setting and the program draws on an emerging body of knowledge and evidence to allow comparisons across different countries. Students can follow either the MSc in International Health Management route or the MSc in Public Health Management route.

The contemporary global health environment envisages a restructured public/national health system taking the lead in maintaining and improving public health. This policy agenda emphasizes strongly the need for good leadership, and within that requires the development of a vision and of practices in health management, appropriate for the organisation of public health services in the 21st century. The Master's is developed in order to assist the achievement of that aim. It builds on the research and teaching strengths so as to ensure that graduates will be able to administer public health services on the basis of a sound understanding of theories and practices of management and public health.
