Introduction to MSc in Public Health
Can lifestyle diseases and a decreasing birth rate put an end to prosperity in the European economy? Will global warming bring back malaria to the Nordic countries? And why does it seem that prevention campaigns have a limited effect?
These and many other questions are dealt with in the Public Health programme. A dynamic, complex and analytical branch of health sciences, where policy relates to statistics and mathematics, behavioural sciences with physiology, anatomy and aetiology of diseases, and where environmental health is as important historical considerations and predictions for the future.
The programme has a progressive international perspective and is built upon some of the major scientific cornerstones: social science, medicine and epidemiology.
