Education at the Health and Society Group
The Health & Society group teaches courses on topics linked to the social and physical determinants of health and health inequities. We teach in different Bachelor and Master programs. The aim of the programs is to train students to become context-sensitive experts who are able to analyse health from a broad perspective and to promote health and well-being of individuals, communities and populations through scientific research, policy advice and engagement of practice.
Thesis and internship
All MSc programmes at Wageningen University include a thesis research period and an academic oriented internship. Students from Wageningen University can write their Bachelor or Master thesis within our chair group.
Available thesis and internship projects
