Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Europubhealth +

Program Overview

The Europubhealth+ programme is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree that has been recognized as a Master of excellence by the European Commission since 2006. Seven renowned European universities are collaborating to deliver the Europubhealth+ Master’s course. The programme now enjoys a vibrant international network of public health professionals and academics, and more than 435 graduates of 86 different nationalities.

Europubhealth+ is aimed at students with a strong interest in applied public health. Their academic background may be inhealth/medical sciences (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, veterinary, biology), social sciences (sociology, economics, psychology, anthropology, geography, political sciences), law, management or engineering.

• global health and intercultural work through multicultural teamwork, problem-based learning and a mandatory internship or practicum

Once you graduate from Europubhealth+, you will be able to:

• analyse and address the determinants of health problems from a population perspective
• propose, plan, implement and evaluate culturally appropriate, evidence-based policies and interventions for the effective improvement of population health in international, national and local contexts.

According to your language skills, you can do your first year in English at the University of Sheffield (UK), at the University College Dublin (Ireland), in Spanish at the University of Granada (Spain) or in French at the University of Liege (Belgium) to acquire core competencies in public health.
