| Humans are as healthy as the environment in which they live. Environmental health focuses on assessing the public health risks associated biological, chemical and physical hazards in natural and built environments. Our master of science (MSc) program in environmental health aims to provide thesis-based students with the skills required to conceptualize, design, conduct, analyze and interpret observational studies and experimental research. The primary focus of these research programs are to investigate the chain of causation arising from hazard exposure to adverse health outcome(s). Training emphasizes theories, concepts and practices of exposure and risk assessment. These programs provide students with core training in toxicology, principle of infectious disease, exposure assessment, risk assessment, risk management and epidemiology. |
