Tuition fees are 12,000 EUR per year.

Graduates of this programme emerge as versatile health experts prepared to navigate the complex, intersectoral landscape of contemporary health challenges. Whether pursuing careers in international policy-making, national health administration, non-governmental organizations, or research, alumni are equipped to advocate for health as a fundamental right rather than a privilege. The programme is specifically designed for those who wish to bridge the gap between clinical health sciences and the sociopolitical determinants of wellbeing.

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Health

By blending health sciences with insights from the social sciences, this Master’s degree provides a holistic perspective on global health phenomena. Students move beyond traditional biomedical models to explore the dynamics of health policy, economics, and promotion within a multicultural, globalized context. Key areas of focus include:

• Epidemiology, health protection, and security.
• Global health governance and the impact of policy decisions.
• The application of 'Health in All Policies' (HiAP) across diverse sectors.
• Social determinants of health, including aging, environment, and sustainable food systems.

The curriculum emphasizes practical application, offering students the chance to engage in internships both in Finland and abroad. Through close collaboration with the International Doctoral Programme in Epidemiology and Public Health (IPPE) and participation in international field trips, students build a robust global network that supports their transition into professional leadership roles.
