How did my Master's programme prepare me for my current job? My Master's programme has developed me both professionally and personally. I learnt to work in a structured way and to approach problems systematically. The evaluation methods I learnt are particularly helpful and I can now use them specifically at the end of projects. The programme has also strengthened my ability to work independently and prepared me well for taking on responsibility in my current job.
That's why I recommend the Master's in Health Services Research: The Master's in Health Services Research is characterised by the close supervision provided by the lecturers, the strong practical and methodological focus and the variety of course content.
