Overview

With zoonotic disease transmission on the increase and environmental pressures such as pollution and climate change impacting both human and animal health, a multidisciplinary approach looking at the interaction between these areas is recognised as being essential when tackling global health management and policy going forward.

Overview

The programme from University of the West of Scotland is suitable for students from a variety of One Health - Environment, Animal and Human Disease related disciplines. Examples include: biomedical and animal science, environmental science, nursing, medicine, pharmacy, allied health professionals, zoology, veterinary science, public health, infection and disease control. Individuals with relevant experience in health management, education and policy can also apply.
