The relationship between environmental pollution and human health has been the focus of countless research studies in recent decades. Many of them confirm the direct connection between air or water quality and the appearance of certain diseases. However, until the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, the vast majority of the population was unaware of this reality, which has serious consequences for their health.

In this scenario, environmental epidemiology has become particularly relevant. The studies carried out from this discipline, as well as the techniques and methods used for the detection, prevention and control of diseases have been put in value in the face of possible health problems in the future. For this reason, TECH offers this postgraduate certificate, which allows the graduates in Engineering to advance in a booming field that demands highly qualified professionals.

A program where students can delve into the factors and mechanisms that influence toxicity, public health problems arising from pollution, the effects on humans, as well as risk assessment. All this through multimedia resources (video summaries, detailed videos) and case studies prepared by specialists in this field.

In addition, thanks to the Relearning system, based on the reiteration of content, students will be able to advance much more quickly through the content of this program taught exclusively online.

The engineers have before them an excellent opportunity to progress in their professional career thanks to a university education, which they can study comfortably whenever and wherever they want. You only need a computer, tablet or cell phone with Internet connection to view, at any time, the syllabus hosted on the virtual platform. Students are, therefore, faced with a program designed for people who want a quality program, compatible with their work and/or personal responsibilities.

Postgraduate Certificate in Environmental Epidemiology and Public Health.

Environmental epidemiology is a scientific discipline that focuses on studying the effects that environmental factors can have on people's health. It is a branch of epidemiology that focuses on the relationship between health and the environment, the latter being understood as the set of physical, chemical and biological factors that affect people's lives, both in the natural and man-made environment. Public health, on the other hand, is a discipline that deals with the protection, promotion and improvement of the health of the population on a large scale. Public health experts work to prevent disease, prolong life and promote health through organized and systematic efforts. In this sense, environmental epidemiology is a branch of public health that focuses on environmental factors that can affect human health. At TECH Technological University we have this specialized program designed with the objective of providing a theoretical and practical understanding of the relationship between the environment and public health.

Environmental epidemiology is a part of public health that focuses on studying the impact of environmental factors on people's health. It aims to identify the environmental risks and determinants of disease and develop strategies to prevent or minimize these impacts on public health. In our Postgraduate Certificate course you will address public health policies and strategies to address environmental risks, and the role of education and communication in environmental disease prevention. This is an excellent choice for those who wish to acquire specialized skills and develop a successful career in this field.
