Public health is an independent and highly interdisciplinary empirical science. In contrast to medicine, which focuses on the well-being of a single individual, public health examines which factors contribute to health or illness in the population as a whole. Public health is therefore interested in the biological mechanisms behind health and illness as well as the environmental, social and political processes and framework conditions that play a role.
Focus ares: Epidemiology, Quantitative Methods
Students per semester: 30-35
Language: English
ECTS: 120
Epidemiology investigates which factors protect, maintain or improve the health of individuals and population groups and which factors are harmful or cause disease. As socio-economic and environmental conditions change worldwide, new health risks are becoming increasingly important in different population groups. It is therefore particularly important to recognise emerging health or disease trends and their causes as quickly as possible. Epidemiological knowledge enables a better understanding of the dynamics of diseases and disease states and provides a solid scientific basis for health policy measures.
