Public Health University of Eastern Finland

Overview

The Public Health program at University of Eastern Finland provides a strong foundation for understanding public health and related research, and, depending on the choice of track, issues of global health, public health nutrition, epidemiology, or health promotion in nursing science. Global health is the way of the future, and here at UEF we are at the centre of creating solutions for it.

Students on the MPH programme first take the core public health studies, after which they can choose to specialise in any of the four options: Epidemiology; Public Health Nutrition; Globe, Culture and Public Health; or Health Promotion in Nursing science.

To contribute to the wider community, we examine health-related issues from social, cultural and global aspects. Students are trained in areas such as: public health, health promotion, epidemiology, nutrition, community medicine, health policy, health economics, occupational health, and environmental health.

Careers

Graduates work as epidemiologists, researchers, administrators, managers, field workers, health educators, and entrepreneurs around the world.
