Career prospects

Community Health is concerned with the health and health work in the community. The Health Sector needs people educated within this field of International Community Health to meet the challenges of global diseases and to target and reach the Millennium Developments Goals. One of the master programme's aims is to prepare students to participate in community-based health promotion and disease prevention research.

Our master students learns to work independently developing their own research projects (often in cooperation with their supervisors), collecting field data either in their home country or a foreign country. They learn how to analyze their data, quantitative or qualitative and to finalize - leading to their master thesis. They also learn how to work in a team, both during the lectures in class but also when they are doing their field work.

Some of our students continues to a PhD-programme. Developing further as a researcher. While others work within the Health Sector, International NGO's or in teaching others.
