Joint Master in Heath and Wellbeing across the Lifespan

Joint Master in Health and Wellbeing across the Lifespan

What is Hygieia?

Hailing from Greek mythology, Hygieia embodied the virtues of cleanliness, sanitation and health, adored by her power to prevent rather than cure – sickness. This mythological figure seems to have a particular relevance in the current world, where integrated preventive strategies throughout the lifespan are in need to achieve Health and wellbeing of the populations.

HYGIEIA- Health and Wellbeing Across the Lifespan Master aims to bring a ground-breaking educational project providing scientific knowledge and competencies that are applicable in risk prevention (rather than treatment) health strategies. This is achieved through non-pharmacological approaches: Nutrition, Lifestyle education and thoughtful use of Cosmetics, Food Supplements and Digital Tools, accomplishing the potential synergies that can be established when a holistic approach is used. HYGIEIA targets a new generation of professionals hoping to undertake a career relevant to the areas of health and wellness. It will be operating in an area of high economic impact and strategic importance, addressing market needs since there is a deficiency of formative offer in this field.

Complementarily, it will contribute to bringing much needed evidence-based scientific knowledge to the industry and businesses.
