Short courses in International
Health
The Institute of Public Health has been
offering a growing number of short courses
since 1999.
In 2006 a number of courses have been
included into our Master of Science in
International Health as either mandatory or
elective advanced modules.
Lecturers in the courses generally have
both field experience and an academic
background in the course topic. Besides our
own international staff, we invite external
lecturers from various sectors: e.g. non-
governmental organizations (NGO), interna-
tional organisations, governmental sector,
research and training programmes, etc.
Participants are usually from a variety of
countries, as well as professional and
educational backgrounds. As all courses are
accredited within the educational network
tropEd, and those students are an important
target group. Yet, we also have about 50 %
of external participants who do the courses
as individual further training.
