Public Health Lund University

Overview

Key features

At the Master of Public Health from Lund University you will learn from your fellow students’ experiences – as well as from the faculty’s vast international experience of research and public health work in the field. As one student expressed it, “The class and teaching are a microcosm of the global context we’ll face in work life."

We apply a student-centered learning approach, where you as a student have the opportunity to reach your own learning objectives and where you are encouraged to seek knowledge independently. This is facilitated by a relative small class-size of 40 students in each year, and through the award-winning modern on-campus facilities in the city of Malmö, Sweden’s most cosmopolitan urban area with the rest of Europe at your doorstep.

Whether you have a background in or is new to the field of public health, our programme is adaptable to your specific interests, while it will provide you with the right mix of grounding in the core disciplines of public health, as well as a specialized focus to meet your individual goals.
