This program has an excellent and highly qualified faculty, who stand out for their availability in guiding students’ academic work. I also highlight the friendliness and professionalism of the non-teaching staff and the positive academic environment among the students.
In terms of education, it was a very enriching two years during which I acquired the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for the proper practice of my profession, particularly regarding Risk Diagnosis and Management, the health effects of occupational risk factors (occupational diseases, work-related and aggravated conditions, work accidents), Ergonomics, applicable legislation, and Epidemiology and Statistics, which provided me with the skills needed to develop research projects.
The recognized prestige of this program’s curriculum, reflected in its structure, professionalism, and the technical expertise of its faculty, made my choice for NOVA NSPH unequivocal. The resulting personal, academic, and professional growth enriched my career through the solid acquisition of new skills, making the investment highly worthwhile and leading to multiple job offers.
