Description

Europubhealth Masters course is supported by the Erasmus Mundus programme launched by the European Commission in early 2004. The EUROPUBHEALTH Erasmus Mundus Masters course provides a high level education in the field of public health. Its main goal is to enable the students to improve health of specific population groups and the population as a whole through the designing, planning, implementation, advising and assessment of health prevention and promotion programmes, and the management of health and social services and establishments.

It is designed to provide students with methods, analytical tools and conceptual knowledge required to understand public health issues. It is based on the acquisition of academic knowledge and basic savoir-faire related to public health as well as all the necessary skills for the various functions that the students, as future public health professionals, will embrace at the local level, regional, national, European or international, in the public or the private sectors.
