The GCF’s Master’s degree in Healthcare Administration and Management of Health Services (MADS) has a solid and renowned reputation, and is currently celebrating its 28th year. The program’s long experience as an established, distinguished Master’s degree, coupled with the excellence of its teaching staff - eminent academics with top publications in their fields - and the enormous satisfaction of its more than 1000 participants are its tributes.
The Master’s degree is conferred under the auspices of the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), a leader in the fields of public policy, health management and health economics. The UPF leads in rankings of Spanish universities. These include both national rankings, carried out by BBVA bank and the Valencia Institute of Economic Research (IVIE), as well as international rankings, such as the U-Multirank and the Times Higher Education ranking.
The Master’s degree program consists of providing future leaders in health with the necessary content and tools for solving today’s complex problems, incorporating and analyzing new models of health management. Clinical management is the interface between clinical and management know-how, necessary for confronting current health challenges. The skills learned through the program have enabled many alumni to occupy and succeed in positions of great responsibility both nationally and internationally. Alumni include top hospital administrators, medical directors, regional health advisors, and Ministers of Health.
