Objectives & contents
In order to structure the development requirements of social and healthcare institutions in a goal-orientated manner, the Master's degree programme qualifies graduates to independently and responsibly take on leadership positions and management functions. In the sense of development-orientated management, it enables scientifically sound and at the same time ethically reflected, value-orientated leadership and management in social and healthcare facilities, as well as future-orientated further development of the relevant knowledge base in science, research and development.
With the studies and the degree

- you qualify for senior tasks and leadership positions, as well as management functions
- you can take on planning, conceptual and leadership roles, as well as tasks in the management of social services, education and healthcare
- you have mastered the instruments of applied research
- you can follow up with a doctoral degree programme
Structure of the curriculum
The course is composed of two or four theoretical semesters. In the third or fifth and sixth semester, you write your Master's thesis. The degree consists of self-study units as well as course time spent in attendance at the university. The in-class training is held at the KSH premises in Munich and at the Benediktbeuern campus. The degree is divided into modules. A module contains several courses whose contents are related. Every module is completed with a module examination, which is awarded with so-called credit points according to the European Credit Transfer System.
The degree programme has a modular structure and consists of 90 ECTS credit points (CP). 30 CP are earned per semester. The courses are held regularly during the week or as block units on weekends.
Prospects & perspectives
- Leadership positions in the management of healthcare and social system facilities, nursing homes, service provision organisations in the social economy, non-governmental welfare work, etc. and especially also of institutions in church sponsorship, ecclesiastical institutions and associations
