Participation in this Master's degree was essential to materialize my intentions of working in Health Promotion. I am particularly grateful for the holistic reflection on the meaning of Health, the communication and planning tools and the contact with projects in the field - fundamental elements to incorporate learning theory and move forward with confidence to research work.
When I entered this Master's degree, I wanted to find a program that would allow me to deepen my knowledge about health promotion in the community. And I can say that it exceeded my expectations!
It is a very complete program and allows us to contact different experts in the field. I found very enriching experiences that allowed me to understand what it really means to promote health and that changed my perspective of our role as professionals to promote the autonomy of specific groups to improve their health.
This Course, with a very practical component that facilitates the acquisition of skills, has a curricular plan with current themes focused on health education and is complemented with optional curricular units that cover very diverse areas. I became a more complete health professional, prepared to implement new approaches to Health Promotion.
