Course Overview
The program focuses on how social and health services are organised, managed, and evaluated. Students learn about healthcare systems, social welfare structures, policy planning, and administrative practices used in public service settings.
Coursework includes analysis of service delivery models, budgeting in health organisations, and assessment of policy outcomes. Students take part in group assignments and research tasks that reflect real situations in social and healthcare administration.
Graduates can move into roles in hospitals, municipal health offices, welfare agencies, and non-government organisations. The program also supports careers in policy development and service coordination. Over time, it has built a strong academic base in public service education, attracting students from different countries who aim for work in health and social administration systems.
