More about the programme

Hear from our current students

RSM’s lecturers and students have an incredible drive and enthusiasm about what they do and will do. My master programme combines my two main study interests: healthcare and innovation. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are reflected in the learning objectives of the courses and give a good impression of what we should aspire.
