The medical and health sector has become very complex over the years. Medical research allows for new treatments every day, but with it new forms of diseases have arisen. Inevitably, the unpredictable nature of medical research has resulted in an evermore complex legal involvement. The Master of Medical Law combines classic legal studies within the health care sector.

Within your study, you address the liabilities of practitioners, surgeons, and the like. You deal with health legislations and reforms as well as with insurance systems.

The Master of Medical Law deals with topics of great importance and applicability.
