The program applies basic business administration and management skills (HR, Finance) to the specifics of the public health sector and combines them with core skills (health prevention, epidemiology) and complementary skills (research methodologies, CSR). The MSc in International Public Health Management focuses on the provision of a multidisciplinary, critically analytical, and practice-based approach to the main challenges and issues in international public health management, planning, and policy, which face the providers of health and health-related services.
