Are you passionate about protecting communities from environmental hazards, workplace risks, and global health threats? The EUCLID Master in Environmental and Occupational Health (MEOH) is a fully online MSc program designed for professionals who want to make a real-world impact in public health policy and practice.

Offered by EUCLID (Euclid University) — an intergovernmental, treaty-based institution with UN Treaty Series status — this unique master’s degree stands out as the only program of its kind delivered by an international organization. It combines rigorous training in environmental health, occupational safety, and global public health with a strong emphasis on practical policy solutions, especially for Global South challenges.

Program Highlights

  • Dual Focus: In-depth coverage of both environmental health (air/water quality, climate change, toxicology) and occupational health (workplace safety, industrial hygiene, psychosocial risks).
  • Global South Perspective: Special attention to issues that matter most in developing regions, including vector-borne diseases, health equity, and sustainable development.
  • Expert Faculty: Learn from distinguished professors and practitioners with real-world experience in global health policy and bioethics.
  • Career-Ready Skills: Gain expertise in epidemiology, biostatistics, risk assessment, policy development, and international case studies — all directly applicable to civil service, NGOs, and international organizations.

Prof Dr Ernst von Schwarz, one of the world’s most published cardiologists, is also also a member of our distinguished faculty group.

Academic Presentation of the Program

Why Most Environmental and Occupational Health Programs Fall Short – and How EUCLID Delivers a Truly Global Solution

Public health, including environmental and occupational health, is too often studied through a narrow national or regional lens. Few programs offer the genuinely international scope needed to prepare graduates for high-impact careers in global civil service and international organizations — careers that demand expertise across a wide spectrum of today’s pressing challenges: malaria and vector-borne diseases, antimicrobial resistance, workplace health risks, climate change and health impacts, health economics, diet-related illnesses, microplastics, and many more.

EUCLID was created to close this exact gap. We designed a comprehensive, rigorous, and fully online Master’s in Environmental and Occupational Health (MSc EOH / MEOH) specifically to equip professionals with practical, policy-focused skills for global leadership in public health.

On this page you will find complete transparency: the full curriculum, detailed syllabus for every course, faculty profiles, and clear total tuition information. This level of openness helps prospective students worldwide decide whether the EUCLID MSc EOH is the right program for their career goals.

Who Is the EUCLID MSc in Environmental and Occupational Health For?

This unique master’s degree places strong emphasis on the practical and policy-oriented aspects of global public health rather than purely academic or theoretical research.

Originally developed to serve civil servants and government officials of EUCLID’s Participating States, the program is also open to qualified professionals from every country. It serves as an outstanding pathway for those pursuing rewarding careers in:

  • National and international civil service
  • Intergovernmental organizations (UN, WHO, regional bodies)
  • Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and global health initiatives
  • Public sector health agencies
  • International consulting and sustainability roles

Whether you are already working in public health or looking to transition into high-impact global roles, the EUCLID Master in Environmental and Occupational Health gives you the intergovernmental perspective, real-world tools, and professional network you need to make a difference on the global stage.
