The MSc aims to provide high quality education in the scientific field of Epidemiology and its application in the field of Health Promotion. In this regard, the connection between the classical epidemiological approach and methodology and the long-standing need for coordinated and evidence-based action in the design, implementation and evaluation of integrated interventions and health prevention and health promotion programs will be established.
