About

The study programme "International Health Sciences" provided by Fulda University of Applied Sciences is the first basic study course in Germany directlyÂ addressing health challenges in the globalised world, now providing an opportunity to complete undergraduate studies with a focus on international or global health in this country. Borders don't stop infections like influenza, flu andÂ AIDS, nor do they stop the typical diseases associated with poverty, such as tuberculosis and malaria. Likewise, social, political, and economic causes of disease are not confined to individual countries. Rather, all countries and the entire world population are affected by social megatrends such as urbanisation, climate change, flexibilisation of work, demographic change, and digitisation as well as the impact of these megatrends on individual and public health. For emerging and developing countries, these effects result in a double burden of disease. Health opportunities are unevenly distributed within and between countries. This situation implies a growing need for the regional and global coordination and enforcement of health policy decisions and measures. Global health issues require adequately trained experts. Organisations operating at an international, European, or global level are becoming increasingly important in all health-related areas. Within Germany, there is a growing need for experts with an international background who can help prepare the institutions of the health system for the developments and requirements that come with globalisation. Increasingly, workplace health promotion affects globally operating companies and thus has to address international requirements.
