Profile
The students will deal with the bio-psycho-social concept of health in greater depth. The study design follows the WHO definition of health: A complete state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The focus therefore lies on health promotion and prevention. This specialization is a result of the development of the public health system. The demographic change, coming along with an increase in longevity, diseases of civilization, and mental abnormities, presents new challenges for employees in the health care sector. The importance of personal health and strategic interventions involved will increase. This means development of strategies for strengthening of individual resources, healthy nutrition, and age-appropriate physical activity. This multidisciplinary concept includes gender and diversity aspects, and focuses not only on the individual but also on special groups, e.g. in companies. This master’s program not only provides theoretical knowledge of the sciences of nutrition, movement and psychology, but also enables the students to work in interdisciplinary research projects with risk factors and patient groups with different diseases.
