Magdalena Csandl will take over as director of the Master's degree programme in Health Management and Integrated Care in the Department of Health at University of Applied Sciences Burgenland. The previous director of the programme, Peter J. Mayer, is embarking on a new career path.
Pinkafeld, 6th of August 2024 - For ten years, the Master's degree programme at University of Applied Sciences Burgenland has been the only course in Austria to train urgently needed specialists for holistic management in the healthcare sector. The expertise of graduates is needed throughout the healthcare system, particularly at the interfaces along the supply chain. Graduates take on management positions in healthcare and social services organisations, work as managers in healthcare and/or social services or in teaching, research and development.
There are 24 places available on the programme each year. The course lasts two years and is organised on a part-time basis. There are no tuition fees. For 10 years, health scientist Peter J. Mayer led the degree programme. He is will focus on his self-employment but will stay at UAS Burgenland as an external lecturer. The previous university lecturer Magdalena Csandl will take over his agendas as director of the degree programme.
Magdalena Csandl, BA MSc, born in 1990, lives in Rauchwart in Burgenland. The qualified health and nursing professional completed a Bachelor's degree in Health Management and Health Promotion at University of Applied Sciences Burgenland in Pinkafeld, followed by a Master's degree in Integrated Care Management. She is currently working on her doctorate in social and economic sciences at the University of Graz. In her professional life, she has worked as a manager at two care facilities. From 2018, she worked as an external lecturer in the Department of Health at UAS Burgenland and has been a permanent member of the team as a lecturer on the Bachelor's degree programme in Healthcare and Nursing at the university since 2020.
What she loves about working with students: "I like the fact that I can give students the tools and knowledge they need for the rest of their lives. This should not only benefit them, but also the environment in which they will work in the future. It is also very interesting to witness their development over the course of their studies. The exchange and collaboration with the students is a constant learning process for me." In the coming weeks and months, she wants to focus above all on a smooth transition for her students.
There are no more places available on this Master's degree programme for the coming academic year. Registration for the academic year 2025/26 is possible from 1 October at www.fh-burgenland.at.
