Doctoral programme in Public Health Science (PHSP)
The Doctoral programme in Public Health Science (PHSP) places particular emphasis on the study and influence of determinants of health and disease in the population. Public Health Science is a multidisciplinary field that aims to study and influence the determinants of health, disease and longevity in the population.
The approach includes the study of the social, economic and physical environment as well as individual characteristics and behaviours.
