Overview

To make health services available to those who need them the most, many developing countries need to improve health care policies, to improve efficency at all levels of organisation, planning and management across the health care system, and to ensure sustainable financing.

Key Features

The International Health degree programme from Heidelberg University has been designed with these factors in mind.

The objective of the programme is to provide students with a solid foundation in international public health principles and to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement and run sustainable programmes for disease control, health promotion, and health services development across a wide range of populations and countries.

Programme Structure

Core Course

The Core Course consists of six units of study. Each unit focuses on a specific topic related to International Health, e.g. health problems and their determinants, research methods, or health policy and management. The Core Course is mandatory for both full-time and part-time students and runs each year for a period of fourteen weeks, from September to December.

Advanced Modules

Advanced modules allow students to gain in-depth knowledge on selected topics and to specialise in specific aspects of international health, according to their personal interests and needs. Advanced modules also bring students into contact with other students and researchers from the field of international health. Following successful completion of the Core Course, both full-time and part-time students must complete a series of advanced modules, totalling 20 ECTS points.
