Public Health is the science and art of preventing disease, increasing life expectancy and promoting health through organized community action, while One Health refers to the integrated approach of human and animal health, including food safety and the environment. The Department of Public and One Health (POH) focuses on research and training in Public and One Health. POH fosters innovative and interdisciplinary collaboration for an integrated approach to human, animal and environmental health. Graduates of the Department will have professional career opportunities in Public Health Services at the national and local level as well as NGOs and International and Transnational Organizations (e.g. WHO, ECDC, EFSA, OIE).

At the end of their training, POH graduates should know:
•the basic mechanisms of health and disease.
•the methods of epidemiological research and biostatistical analysis applied in populations.
•the social, behavioral, cultural and environmental determinants of health.
•human and animal health interactions, including food safety and the environment.
•the organization and management of health systems.
•the principles of health economics and evidence-based health policy at the local, national and international level.
