Program

The Executive Master in Management of Health and Social Care Organizations (EMMAS) is designed for experienced professionals who want to pursue a managerial career within health organizations. The breadth, depth and formula of this program represent a unique proposition, which enables students to prepare for senior management roles while working full-time.

Therefore, there is a distinct need for specialized skills in the top tiers of management. The program provides a strong understanding of how health organizations work and equips you with the right skills to make a difference in your own workplace, in relation to the quality of services or the efficiency of operations.

Thanks to a stimulating, interactive and integrated learning process, you will find the experience truly valuable and highly relevant to your profession.
