One Health

This Master's program, in which the teaching-learning process occurs predominantly remotely, benefits from a teaching modality that combines flexibility and rigor. The development of synchronous and asynchronous distance learning activities expands accessibility, which is essential in an era where learning, research, and cultural dynamics are globalizing.

The distance learning format promotes student autonomy, integration of resources, and collaborative activities, essential for the One Health Master's program.

By enabling students from different geographical locations to attend, this modality allows for better time management and the reconciliation of training with other personal and professional responsibilities.

The maximum of 25% of in-person teaching, concentrated on laboratory practice and direct interaction, is crucial for consolidating the competencies developed remotely, providing learning experiences that are only effectively carried out in person. The balance between modalities takes advantage of the benefits of both and promotes holistic learning, preparing students for the complex challenges addressed in the One Health Master's program.

This master's program stands out for its use of innovative pedagogical practices and the integration of themes covered in the various curricular units.

The innovative pedagogical practices used incorporate, for example, Problem-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, Case-Based Learning, Team-Based Learning, Focus Groups, Flipped Classroom, Role-Playing, Peer Instruction, Think-Pair-Share, Gamification, among others, making the learning process more dynamic, interactive, and collaborative, and developing students' critical thinking and autonomy, who develop socio-emotional skills while actively deepening their knowledge.

The curricular structure is scientifically grounded, aligned with the objectives of the educational offering, and organized into thematic modules that unfold sequentially.

This master's program is based on a network of partnerships with higher education institutions, public and private sector organizations, both in Portugal and abroad, and offers opportunities for transdisciplinary training, supporting a One Health approach.

The Master's program in One Health operates on a sequential modular structure, in which the student focuses on one module at a time. Modules are addressed sequentially, promoting dedication to each module and, consequently, a solid acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities, always supported by real-world problems, creating bridges between different disciplines and stimulating communication and teamwork.

Students who complete this master's program are well-prepared for successful careers in higher education institutions, research centers, public administration, clinical units, and related companies or entities, both nationally and internationally.

Taught in English, this Master's program allows for the globalization of education and the internationalization of graduates, who develop within a multicultural and international context.
