One Health: Environment, Animal and Human Disease MSc

University of the West of Scotland

The MSc One Health: Environment, Animal and Human Disease is a unique degree which focuses on the internationally recognised emerging health theme which examines the connectivity between human and animal health, and the environment.With zoonotic disease transmission on the increase and environmental pressures such as pollution and climate change impacting both human and animal health, a multidisciplinary approach looking at the interaction between these areas is recognised as being essential when tackling global health management and policy going forward.The programme is suitable for students from a variety of One Health related disciplines. Examples include: biomedical and animal science, environmental science, nursing, medicine, pharmacy, allied health professionals, zoology, veterinary science, public health, infection and disease control. Individuals with relevant experience in health management, education and policy can also apply. Applicants who have an ordinary degree with relevant work experience (3 years) will be considered on an individual basis.This degree has been developed to help directly address a number of UN Sustainable Development Goals.
