These may relate to procurement considerations, budgetary work or diagnosis and prioritization within healthcare. The objective is to provide you with the knowledge and practical skills to facilitate the making of complicated decisions.

Problems from your professional role are integrated in the education

During the education you can choose a project or an approach to a problem which connects to your previous or current activity. The objective of the programme is to provide you with the knowledge and practical skills which facilitate the making of complicated decisions within business, administration and healthcare. You can also utilize the education for analysing, assessing and remedying risks as well as for designing policies.
