WE WISH YOU GOOD LUCK AND A GREAT START!
Dear HEHCM Students,
We warmly welcome you to the Master of Science in Health Economics and Health Care Management at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Hamburg.
To help you get started in the HEHCM program, every year we offer a special HEHCM orientation module at the beginning of your studies. You can find out more about the program, ask questions, get to know the campus, and meet your classmates. The module is organized by students in higher semesters. As soon as the module has been planned, you can find out what is happening on each day.
We wish you an intellectually stimulating and exciting time in this program and, of course, success!
Prof. Dr. Mathias Kifmann und Prof. Dr. Tom Stargardt
(program directors for the Master of Science in Health Economics and Health Care Management)

Orientation—how long and what happens
The module is organized by students in higher semesters. As soon as the module has been planned, we let first-semester students know about out what is happening on each day.
There is a fixed date for the first-semester welcome by the program's directors and an introduction to the program's teaching staff. This traditionally takes place on the afternoon of the first day of lectures.
