The following can apply for a master’s degree in USG: graduates with a bachelor’s degree in health care; the professional bachelors who, after graduating from medical colleges, acquired one of the specialties “Social Activities”, “Social Pedagogy”, “Social Management” or “Health Management” /with a duration of study of three semesters and an internship/; bachelor’s degree in health care management /with a duration of study of two semesters and an internship/.
The habilitated teachers and assistants from the department take an active part in the educational process of the “Health Management” specialty. The educational capacity exceeds 600 students per academic year, with the number of hours several times exceeding that required for theoretical departments. The new generation of healthcare managers and healthcare executives are emerging as effective modern-day leaders for the various, incl. highest levels of management of health activities. The department is also active in international exchange. In 2007, public health students from higher medical schools of central Europe were enrolled in individual English-language training as part of a pre-graduate internship.
In 2009, members of the academic staff, in the person of the main assistants Marieta Todorova and Vanina Mihailova, participated in a teaching exchange under the Lifelong learning Program Higher Education Erasmus in Poland, humanitarian college, city of Wroclaw, with a lecture course in the field of professional distress, rehabilitation management and methodology of organizing and conducting practical classes. In 2018, members of the academic staff of the department participated in exchanges under the Erasmus+ program and in other teaching exchange programs for both teaching and learning purposes. A teaching exchange was held at Miguel Hernández University in the city of Elche, Alicante, Spain with a lecture course on psychological constraints in decision-making and intergenerational differences in an organizational context.
