Hailing from Greek mythology, Hygieia embodied the virtues of cleanliness, sanitation and health, adored by her power to prevent – rather than cure – sickness. This mythological figure seems to have a particular relevance in the current world, where integrated preventive strategies throughout the lifespan are in need to achieve Health and wellbeing of the populations.

HYGIEIA - Health and Wellbeing Across the Lifespan Master aims to bring a ground-breaking educational project providing scientific knowledge and competencies that are applicable in risk prevention (rather than treatment) health strategies. This is achieved through non-pharmacological approaches: Nutrition, Lifestyle education and thoughtful use of Cosmetics, Food Supplements and Digital Tools, accomplishing the potential synergies that can be established when a holistic approach is used. HYGIEIA targets a new generation of professionals hoping to undertake a career relevant to the areas of health and wellness. It will be operating in an area of high economic impact and strategic importance, addressing market needs since there is a deficiency of formative offer in this field.

Complementarily, it will contribute to bring much needed evidence-based scientific knowledge to the industry and businesses.

HYGIEIA is a 2-year English-taught program that involves the Lusófona University (Lisbon), University Belgrade (Serbia) , and the University of Balearic Islands (Spain), as well as stakeholders from academia, industry, medical societies, and healthcare providers.
