More information about the Environmental Impacts & Human Health discipline
The discipline of Environmental Impacts and Human Health combines the knowledge of a variety of sub-disciplines, such as sociology, health promotion, economics, demography, environmental studies and life sciences, with the aim of discovering patterns, issues and solutions to environmental, social and health related problems.
Treating diverse topics that range from Toxicology and Nutrition to Natural Resources and Wildlife, this discipline sets out to improve the quality of human life and the level of health in the human society.
As a student of this discipline one can expect to focus on social, psychological, environmental and societal factors of health, illness and quality of life, as well as the consequences of the health condition both for the individual and for society.
The relevance and importance of this filed has increased recently as a consequence of ever more severe health issues, medical assistance inequality and shortage and medical services increased costs. Continuous research and counselling is required all over the world in order to adapt and improve governmental policies, business and social practices so that these issues are addressed and solved.

Master in Biologie des interactions : du gène aux populations (BIGP)
Les relations inter-organismes, et notamment les interactions « fortes » (parasitisme, symbiose ...) jouent un rôle fondamental dans le fonctionnement des écosystèmes et des agro-systèmes tout comme dans l'évolution des populations et des espèces. La compréhension des mécanismes régissant ces interactions et leur évolution en réponse aux pressions environnementales est un défi majeur dans un objectif de gestion durable des bio-ressources et de maintien de la biodiversité. La formation Master recherche proposée aborde la biologie des interactions au travers d'approches complémentaires, intégrant différentes disciplines (génétique, génomique, biologie cellulaire, physiologie, génétique et dynamique des populations, biologie évolutive, écologie comportementale, modélisation ...) afin de pouvoir s'intéresser à différents niveaux d'études : de celui du génome à celui de l'individu et à celui des populations. Cette dimension intégrative vise à permettre une analyse fine et dynamique des mécanismes complexes qui sou

-
Master in MSc Transport Planning and the Environment
Transport is a major cause of environmental impact. Whether it is air pollution, noise, encroachment on the green belt or climate change, it is widely accepted that further expansion of transport must be balanced against the environmental damage. This programme takes a detailed look at this relationship, and equips students with practical approaches to environmentally sound transport planning. Students study the core principles of transport planning and then apply these to the environmental issues. Having understood the nature of the problems, students consider how mitigation can be achieved, through a range of specific interventions.
-
