The degrees that Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM) offers are multidisciplinary: after your studies there are many directions you can go in. Do you know which industries you could work in and which jobs might be available for you? Or are you already aware of the possibilities out there, but find it hard to make up your mind?
Together with study association SHARE, we are hosting an afternoon especially for ESHPM students to gain more insights into what options are available post-graduation from ESHPM. After a Health Talk on "Paving the Way To Our Sustainable Future", you'll be able to meet alumni from our School from a variety of different work fields who will share their stories. The alumni are working at, among others, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, Erasmus MC, Deloitte, UCB and DSW Verzekeringen. Would you like to be inspired? Sign up now!
