What is occupational health management about?

Graduates with a specialization in "Occupational Health Management" often take on management positions in the health and prevention sector of companies. This area is becoming increasingly important in many companies in view of the ageing workforce.

Reduce the sickness rate

The aim of occupational health management is to increase the performance potential of a company or organization. Employees should be able to cope better with their day-to-day work by optimizing operational processes. This includes the promotion of health and prevention. Simple techniques can often help to reduce physical strain. This major offers you practical and project-oriented training in the analysis, goal setting, planning, decision-making, implementation and monitoring of occupational health management. The course content is based on health science topics and also takes into account business management issues.

Potential employers

Graduates are equipped to perform specific tasks in occupational health management, particularly in the areas of prevention and health promotion. As a graduate, you can take on qualified specialist and management tasks, for example in:

  • Large companies

  • Non-governmental organization (NGO)
