General information for the degree programme
Research and teaching on Public Health focus primarily on the conditions for good health and the causes of illness; the interactions between humans and their natural, technical and social environments; health promotion and disease management; the services offered by the health system and the opportunities for controlling health policy as well as the evolution and quality control of this system.
This postgraduate studies program provides the theoretical foundations, the practical skills and the expertise necessary for work in research, management, administration and industry within the field of public health.
The degree program consists of compulsory modules (75 credit points) and elective compulsory modules (15 credit points).

These are supplemented by a practical public health project (2nd semester) and the Master’s thesis (30 credit points) including the defense, which is completed in the 4th semester.
The degree program lasts for 4 semesters and, upon completion, students are awarded the title Master of Public Health (MPH). New students are admitted every two years (in the even calendar years).
