Health Promotion
Master
We face urgent and complex challenges, such as rising chronic diseases, mental health problems, health inequalities, climate-related health risks, and the growing impact of unhealthy lifestyles. To realise impactful solutions to these challenges, we need innovative, evidence-based and collaborative efforts. In our Health Promotion (HeP) master's programme, we are invested in training ‘health promoters of the future’: professionals ready to tackle complex challenges and build healthier, more equitable societies. Improving wellbeing goes beyond individual choices and behaviours. That's why this programme also trains students to understand and influence the environments and policies that impact health.
This programme is for you if:
- you have a keen interest in understanding how environment, policies and behaviours shape health and wellbeing.
- you are passionate about designing, implementing and evaluating health-promoting programmes.
- you want to make an impact and contribute to real and sustainable change.
