EUROPUBHEALTH

Welcome !

Health of the population is a universal concern which transcends cultures, languages and systems. Its maintenance and care necessitate the multiple competences of public health professionals. Since Europe is recognised through out the world as being a major reference in the public health, it must take on the responsibility for both disseminating public health culture and providing training for future public health professionals.

The European master EUROPUBHEALTH has been specially designed to respond to such a challenge. Stemming from the cooperation of six major universities and schools of public health, it offers nine training pathways and seven different specialisations. Each specialisation benefits from the particular expertise of each EUROPUBHEALTH partner and leads to the acquisition of a widely recognized dual diploma. By awarding the ERASMUS MUNDUS label to Europubhealth, the European Commission places this top calibre course among the best masters that exist within European higher education.

Students from all around the world with different subject backgrounds are most welcome to enrol since public health is made up from the coming together of knowledge and skills from both social and biological science and is thus in constant renewal through the interweaving of such different but complementary perspectives.

The whole EUROPUBHEALTH team wishes you an enjoyable and informative visit to our web-site. Please feel free to contact us for any further information or advice concerning EUROPUBHEALTH.
