Health Science – Prevention And Health Promotion

Course Overview

The Master’s program in “Health Science – Prevention and Health Promotion” at TUM addresses the bio-psycho-social approach to health, focusing on health promotion and prevention in line with the WHO’s definition of health: a complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease. Students specialize in areas such as physical activity, nutrition, psychology, and health economics, preparing for interdisciplinary research and strategic interventions for health in various societal contexts. Graduates develop, implement, and evaluate health promotion concepts, equipped for careers in research, public health, advisory, and leadership roles in clinics, organizations, ministries, and educational institutions.
