Masters in Health Promotion and Education

Health promotion involves the environmental and personal factors that influence human health. The former refers to creation of a favorable environment, and includes environmental policy, while the latter refers to health education. Among the staff, our watchword is primary prevention. Secondary and tertiary prevention related to treatment and recovery once a person has fallen ill are also important; however, such measures are generally very costly and less effective relative to the expense. Quality of life also suffers greatly while a person is ill or injured. For these reasons, we are more focused on primary prevention, with the aim of raising the level of people s current health in order to avoid illness and injury in the first place.
