Overview

The Public and Global Health program at Tampere University is part of the teaching offered at the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Health Sciences Unit. Hence, our interdisciplinary programme in public and global health integrates studies in both health sciences and social sciences.

You will acquire a thorough grounding in the core disciplines of public health - epidemiology, health promotion, health policy, health protection and security, health systems, and health economics. In addition, you will grow your knowledge and expertise in global health policy and in understanding the dynamics between multilevel and intersectoral governance and health.

The wide range of courses enable you to gain expertise in your areas of interest, including topics such as social determinants of health, Health in All Policies (HiAP), aging, social protection, health and environment, work and health, sustainable food systems and global health policy and governance.

Because health is a right and not a privilege
