European Public Health

European Public Health (EPH) is about preventing disease and promoting healthy lifestyles for all Europeans with clear European policy. Because diseases aren't stopped by borders.

In the coming years, increasing collaboration between European governments and organisations will have a huge impact on the citizens of the European Union.

EPH - being the only programme of its kind in Europe - explores health and healthcare from an international and European perspective. You'll study regional, national and international developments in public health and healthcare within the EU. You'll learn about the various aspects of public health policy and the steps that are taken toward a "New Public Health" across Europe. You'll also develop the skills you need to work in governmental or healthcare-related organisations, or in EU or WHO units, in positions such as a policy advisor, health officer, European affairs officer, project manager, prevention specialist or researcher. You become a health scientist who can bridge the gaps between health science and national and international (EU) policy.

This programme is very internationally oriented. From the first day, you're part of an international study environment in which you work with students from all over the world. Our current student body counts more than 20 different nationalities, from both in and outside the EU.
