This is a profession-oriented international master's degree programme that responds to the need for highly qualified professionals, with well-rounded, multidisciplinary training that encompasses human, animal and environmental health. On the programme, you will learn to work effectively and collaboratively on preventing, monitoring, managing and informing on biological hazards and infectious diseases in the new scenarios brought about worldwide by globalisation and climate change. This is what One Health is all about:  defending and improving the health of all species (humans, animals and plants) through greater cooperation between professionals who work in public health, animal health and environmental health.

To provide this highly specialised training in One Health, this master's degree is delivered with the help of experts from several departments and hospitals associated with the UAB, from institutions like the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Pan-American Health Organisation (PAHO), and from other universities, such as the University of London in the UK, or the University of Toulouse in France. Students are presented with different challenges relating to global health in order to help them perfect the skills that a One Health professional needs. In addition, they can visit several specialist laboratories, including the level 3 biocontainment unit in the IRTA‑CReSA Animal-Health Research Centre, and even do their final project in them if they wish.
