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 "Zorgfraude", 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, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek hospital, EuroClin and Zilveren Kruis. Would you like to be inspired? Sign up now!
What: Health Talk "Zorgfraude" (NL) by Judith Spanjers, followed presentations by ESHPM alumni and the opportunity to get to know these alumni during an informal networking drinks reception.
Who: both bachelor's and master's students (NL/EN)
Where: J7, Bayle Building
When: Monday 28 April 2025, 14.45 until 18.00
The afternoon will consist of different rounds for which you can sign up. We will end the afternoon with some drinks and snacks (17.15 - 18.00), during which you can continue the conversation with the alumni present.
Please note: most of the sessions will be given in Dutch. We have unfortunately experienced some struggles this year to organise more English sessions. We hope that you will still find this event useful and inspiring. In the registration form and the schedule below you can see which sessions are in Dutch (NL) or English (EN). If you have any questions regarding your career that you'd like to ask another alumnus, please send us an email (alumni@eshpm.eur.nl) and we will try to help you.
