You could pursue a career at health institutes, consultancies, insurance companies, governments and academia.Experience shows that all students rapidly find good jobs, sometimes even before graduation.

Health institutes

At regional, national and international health institutes, Health Education and Promotion graduates can be found working on both preventative and awareness campaigns. But they also work on intervention development and help evaluate health education strategies.

Consultancy

At consultancies, graduates provide national and international organisations with advice on how to develop health interventions or improve health education strategies.

Governments

Some Health Education and Promotion graduates opt for a career working for a local or national government where they work on a broad range of health initiatives, ranging from the prevention of infectious diseases to healthy diets and exercise promotion campaigns.

Academia

The Program will also provide you with a solid scientific background. A career as a PhD student will therefore also be open to you.
