Science without Borders - Public Health
Are you interested in the relations between social conditions and health? Do you want to promote health and prevent diseases? Then you should consider our course package in Public Health. It includes courses on global health conditions, health systems analysis and methods for carrying out public health work.
By nature, Public Health is multidisciplinary, drawing on social sciences and medicine, using qualitative and quantitative methods to identify and assess specific health risks before designing and implementing effective public health strategies.
Traditionally drawing on the fields of microbiology, entomology, parasitology and the management and control of infectious diseases, in today's globalised world we are increasingly facing new public health challenges involving causation and prevention of chronic diseases.
The course package in Public Health includes a number of courses on global health conditions, on health systems analysis, on the relations between social conditions and health and on the methods that you need to carry out public health work.
The programme provides public health practitioners and researchers with the skills required to understand, and ultimately help improve and maintain the health status of the population.
We have many students from low and middle income countries. This makes up an exciting study environment where people with a different educational and cultural background meet.
All of the courses are given in English.
