International Health Specialisation

The International Health specialisation broadens the public health approach of looking at all determinants of health, which include broader social and environmental factors in addition to physical risk factors to include international health studies. For this, you will study a wide range of evaluation processes and research methods such as policy analysis, economic evaluation, epidemiology and qualitative methods. The focus of practical skills is in Communicable Diseases, and you will integrate research, analytical and practical skills in the evaluation of contemporary public health issues.

A double specialty is possible with the Health Promotion specialisation.
