The Master of Science in Public Health (MPH) is an international program with a clear focus on health systems strengthening and improving disease prevention and control. The scope of the MPH concerns resource-constrained settings and vulnerable populations. The aim of the MPH is to enhance the student’s capacity to face current challenges such as the achievement of Universal Health Coverage, the organization of health care for infectious and non-communicable diseases, the control and elimination of (neglected) tropical diseases, the preparedness for disease outbreaks and the response to sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescents, and to health inequities in general.

This Master’s degree provides a methodological toolbox for disease control; it includes epidemiology, statistics, GIS, and meta-analysis, as well as practical, hands-on experience. Disease prevention plays a vital role in improving international health and welfare, including areas such as human rights, justice, and gender equality.
