Public Health, Master of Health Sciences

The Institute of Public Health and Clinical Nutrition offers training in Public Health in English. Our internationally recognised Master's Degree Programme in Public Health (MPH), which has been running since 1993, is at the forefront of integrating the global dimensions of public health. Our educational atmosphere is characterised by interaction between Finnish and international students from different educational and cultural backgrounds.

Students on the MPH programme first take the core public health studies, after which they can choose to specialise in any of the four options: Epidemiology; Public Health Nutrition; Globe, Culture and Public Health; or Health Promotion in Nursing science. Each track comprises 20 ECTS of compulsory track-specific courses and a subject-related Master's thesis.

To contribute to the wider community, we examine health-related issues from social, cultural and global aspects. Students are trained in areas such as: public health, health promotion, epidemiology, nutrition, health policy, heath economics, health management, community medicine, geriatrics, occupational health and environmental health.
