Double Degree Programs in
Health Management and Social Work
In cooperation with the Finnish University of Applied Sciences in Jyväskylä (JAMK), the master’s programs in Health Management and Social Work: Development and Design offer an international dual-degree program (DDP).
The DDP is an initiative of the degree programs aimed at strengthening the European dimension of the curriculum and thereby opening up international career opportunities for students. In addition, it enables students to establish international contacts and gain a broader perspective on the healthcare sector.
The program comprises 30 ECTS credits. These credits are integrated into the curricula of the master’s programs and include two international study weeks (Summer School in Jyväskylä and Spring School at CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences), a specific selection of online courses, the master’s thesis, and, optionally, one to two weeks of practical training. All components of the program are conducted in English.
