Master Health and Society (specialisation)

The specialisation Health and Society puts its focus on societal issues in the domain of health, health promotion and systems of health care. The programme covers a niche, not only by taking a sociological approach, yet also through its specific emphasis on studying the interaction between individual and environment, rather than studying both separately. Together with sociology, the programme combines the domains communication science and health promotion but also includes perspectives from the economic domain, management and public policy.
