This unique programme gives you the skills needed to look across borders and learn from practices in public health and healthcare elsewhere.
Why do European guidelines work in one country but not another? What systems and approaches will improve health both domestically and Europe wide? What health systems are used in different regions and countries? What methodologies are needed for best-practice exchange and cross-border cooperation? You emerge with the analytical tools, innovative research methods, and change-management instruments required for policy-making and development at all levels: organisational, regional, EUregional, national and European. This is a one-year programme taught in English.
