New study programme : Global Health
Health problems such as pandemics, conflicts and chronic diseases affect countries globally and manage common health challenges. Therefore, it is important to have experts to address these challenges and prepare health organisations for the changes and opportunities of globalisation.
"Global Health" provides knowledge on how various factors such as politics, society, business and the environment affect global health.
The study programme offers various opportunities such as international internships, period abroad, research and supervision by experienced professors. The main goal of the program is to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to become future leaders in global health.

It should be noted that the "Welcome Week" is compulsory and forms part of one of the modules in the first semester.
