About this programme

The Master’s programme One Health offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the interconnections between human, animal, and environmental health . Students are introduced to core concepts of One Health and Planetary Health and develop a critical perspective on global health challenges. Central topics include Public Health, Public Health Nutrition , and Infectious Diseases , covering health systems, non-communicable diseases, zoonoses, prevention strategies, and social and environmental determinants of health. You will learn about environmental risk assessment, sustainability, land use, animal husbandry, and their impacts on ecosystems, animal health, and food systems. Comprehensive training in research methods, statistics, epidemiology, and data analysis equips you with essential skills for evidence-based practice. Throughout the programme, an interdisciplinary perspective fosters critical thinking and global awareness. Career opportunities can be found in international organisations, public health/one health, research institutions, NGOs, or private sectors such as health or environmental management. Due to the scientific focus of the programme, graduates are also well qualified for doctoral programmes.
