- Description/content
- The "Global Health" study programme at Fulda University of Applied Sciences is the first of its kind in Germany to offer the opportunity to complete undergraduate studies with a focus on global health challenges.
In today's interconnected world, there is a growing demand for professionals equipped to navigate global health complexities. Our programme meets this need by providing students with comprehensive education in health, social, and political sciences. With small class sizes and opportunities for international engagement, including a semester abroad and an (international) internship, students gain valuable insights and hands-on experience.
With a focus on reducing health disparities and promoting health equity worldwide, the programme addresses the structural, political, social, economic, and environmental factors that shape patterns of health and illness across the globe. The multidisciplinary programme tackles the complexity of health through engagement with health systems, societal determinants of health, and planetary health as well as efforts to understand the power dynamics shaping global health inequities. Students learn to engage critically with many dimensions affecting global health, including the policies of governments and other actors, migration and population growth, disparities in wealth, and climate change.
We offer online info sessions on a regular basis. Current dates can be found on the programme website (https://www.hs-fulda.de/en/studyprogramme/global-health-bsc).
