Specialization introduction

Major introduction

Learn to scientifically manage elderly care service institutions, integrating management with humanistic care to address global aging challenges.

Program overview

The Elderly Care Service Management major falls under the Public Management category within the Management discipline. It primarily teaches you how to operate and manage nursing homes, community elderly care service centers, and related health service projects. Core courses include Nursing Home Operations Management, Geriatric Psychology, Health Service Management, Social Security, Financial Management, and Smart Elderly Care Technology Applications. This major suits students who are patient, good at communication, and passionate about aging society issues. Chinese universities have unique advantages in this field: many have on-campus training bases and collaborate with frontline elderly care institutions, allowing you to learn while practicing. The courses are not boring—they involve real case analysis and simulated operations, making them quite down-to-earth.

Major prospects

全球老龄化趋势明显,中国60岁以上人口已超2.8亿,养老产业正在快速扩张。目前市场上不缺基础护理员,但缺懂管理、会运营的专业人才。智慧养老、社区养老、医养结合等新模式层出不穷,需要既懂管理又了解老年需求的人。国际学生可以关注跨国养老模式对比、适老化产品设计、养老金融等方向,这些在中国和海外都有发展空间。行业整体处于上升期,机会多,竞争压力相对传统管理类专业小一些。

Career prospects

毕业后可以去养老机构(如高端养老社区、护理院)、社区服务中心、政府民政部门、保险公司(养老险板块)、养老地产公司、智慧养老科技企业等。常见岗位有运营主管、项目策划、客户服务经理、老年健康管理师、政策研究员等。在中国一线城市,应届生起薪大约6000-10000元/月,有2-3年经验后可达12000-18000元/月。如果回国发展,所学管理方法同样适用,尤其是智慧养老和标准化运营经验很抢手。
