How do environmental influences and climate change affect personal health, but also our healthcare systems? The answers to these questions are complex – and crucial for the future. That is precisely why we have developed study modules on a topic that is still largely unique in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland – Planetary Health.
Climate change is already a major cause of numerous diseases today. In the Planetary Health specialisation, you can therefore explore global environmental changes, their impact on our health, and possible courses of action at various levels.
The healthcare industry needs to become more sustainable, and we want our students to be able to play an active role.
