Leading universities:

The University of Oslo has developed the EU-HEM programme in cooperation with three other leading European universities:

Learning outcomes:

EUHEM prepares students to staff and executive positions in organizations, institutions and companies involved in health care provision. A key to the fulfillment of steady job in this sector is awareness of the societal relevance of health care and the implied constraints imposed by social rules, regulations and the law.

The programme therefore aims to develop competences and expertise in the field of health economics and policy, health care management, health law and regulation.

Career opportunities:

For health care managers, policy analysts and academic researchers, knowledge of multiple relevant disciplines and an international view and network are keys to understanding and solving the problems that health care systems and health care services are facing in the 21st century.

An international master degree is strongly supported by future employers in international organizations, hospitals and care organizations, governmental agencies, and research institutions.

International organizations: Organizations that work internationally like

• pharmaceutical companies
• aid organizations
• health insurers
• regulatory agencies
• UN organizations

ask for highly and internationally trained staff in the fields of health economics, policy analyses, and health management.

Hospitals and care organizations: Large hospitals and integrated care organizations anticipate a growing demand for employees who are explicitly trained in EU policy and law.

Governmental agencies: Ministries of Health and other governmental agencies anticipate the need for internationally trained staff to govern and facilitate a possible integration of EU health care systems and services in the future. 

Research institutions: Both commercial research organizations and universities are highly international in their scope and orientation.
