Career opportunities
Thanks to the close link between theoretical knowledge and professional practice, the BA in Aging Services Management offers a broad field of activity in accordance with distance learning programme, e.g. in health and social institutions or in the field of prevention. However, graduates of this programme are also needed in municipalities, in tourism and in housing, urban and regional planning, especially in positions in the following areas and functions:
- Project management
- Process management
- Change management
- Management consultancy
- Quality management
- Network and interface functions in relation to quality of life and health of the elderly
