    Health Sciences (MSc)

    About

    The Master of Health Sciences is a two-year programme (four semesters, 120 credit points (CPs) in total). It provides participants with scientific and practical skills which enable them to conduct research in health sciences. The first two semesters (60 CPs) encompass modules which convey both qualitative and quantitative research methods applicable for the fields of Health Economics and Health Systems, Occupational and Health Promotion and Health Behaviour and Epidemiology. The first year offers a choice of courses, so that students can build up a theoretical foundation for their research semester (third semester). During their research semester, students will participate in a research project conducted either at the university or at another institution focusing on health research. Students will gain practical skills and teamwork experience, and will learn how to run a project in the field of health sciences research. The training will be supervised by a professor and accompanied by a colloquium. The programme culminates in the writing of a Master's thesis. The aim is to formulate and analyse a problem by choosing a suitable study design and appropriate study methods. Concepts and methods learned during the programme will be applied.
