Master of Science in International Health Economics and Pharmacoeconomics Fresenius University of Applied Sciences - Wiesbaden Campus, Germany

The Master’s program in International Health Economics and Pharmacoeconomics (M.Sc.) qualifies you for higher positions in research and education as well as in the public and private sector. More than three quarters of your fellow student come from abroad – and this very much leaves its mark on the course. Here, you will develop a set of skills that will equip you for the global challenges expected to face a graduate of health economics. Alongside internationality and interdisciplinarity, this program includes a large practical component.

Become an expert in licensing processes and pricing, gain the necessary qualifications for more senior roles at public authorities, institutes, or companies in the industry: In this Master’s program, you will not only acquire skills to meet the international requirements for qualified health economists but also familiarize yourself with healthcare systems from many cultural areas, and benefit from an intensive exchange of ideas with your fellow students.
