Master’s Degree
International Health and Cooperation
Program Rationale
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are key to the policies of governments, international organizations, NGOs, companies, and institutions, with health being one of the top priorities. In a globalized world, characterized by rapid population movements and emerging diseases, healthcare professionals require proper training to identify and control these pathologies.
In recent years, the number of professionals involved in international health cooperation has grown, requiring specific competencies to work in diverse contexts. However, many interested individuals are unable to access long-term, on-site programs.
This Master’s degree is one of the most internationally prestigious programs taught in Spanish within this field, recommended by organizations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, and Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). It is designed for both experienced professionals looking to update their knowledge and those seeking to start a career in international health cooperation, humanitarian action, or emergency response in low- and middle-income countries.
International health cooperation encompasses promotion, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. It demands the capacity to analyze endemic diseases, study healthcare systems, understand health economics, and manage services—always with humility and an ethical commitment to human dignity.
