As a department by and for students, we also focus on the interests of young public health professionals. With contributions at the largest German public health congress “Poverty and Health”, we give young voices a platform to shape the public health landscape. With our event series Career Paths in Public Health, we also want to show students the diverse professional perspectives. We provide information on current topics in the department in our monthly Campus News. The Department of Students has set itself the task of presenting Public Health students to the outside world and bringing them together internally.
