Master
From Japan to Sierra Leone
Better health can help improve the quality of life, safety and economic development. For example, a newborn infant in Sierra Leone can look forward to about 29 healthy years, which is in sharp contrast to the 75 years that Japanese infants can expect.
The health conditions of population groups increasingly depend on global processes from urbanisation to new mobility patterns, both socially and across national borders.
Understand the global patterns – and individual impact.
Continuing education within global health will provide you with skills to work with the many interrelated factors of influence. These factors appear on a broad scale that range from the individual to society in general, including politics, legislation, economy, socio-cultural issues and climate change.
The teaching is based on research and gives you the opportunity to work analytically and practically with issues within human health in a globalised world.
