The Master of HIV is the first education ever that combines teaching in clinical and organisational management of HIV. The master's degree programme in HIV sets out to provide students with the state-of-the-art public health and clinical HIV knowlegde, skills and competences that will allow them to engange on the labour market with expertise that rests on a scientific foundation.

The objective is that the student upon graduation will be able to:
a) contribute on a scientific background and at an academic level to the improvement in treatment and care of PLHIV
b) participate in the planning, execution and evaluation of preventive and sustainable measures based on accepted policies and standards
c) analyse HIV-related issues including the individual, social, cultural and political context
d) participate in quantitative and qualitative HIV research.

The Masters focus is on HIV in an international perspective, however, because of the complex interplay between HIV, other diseases and their management teaching is generic and cross-disciplinary. The one-year flexible programme includes courses in: Epidemiology, HIV Prevention, Treatment and Care; Health systems & HIV; Virology & immunology; Sexual & Reproductive Health; Policy & Organisational Management etc. Students choose between 2 lines of specialisation: The Biomedical line or The Policy and Organisational Management line. The Masters is a one-year full-time education, which alternatively can be taken module wise as part-time study. Diploma short courses are also available - an excellent alternative for those short of time.

On completion of the course, participants should be able to:
* Critically appraise existing international and national HIV policies and strategies utilising appropriate modes of research and analysis (f. inst. epidemiological, socio-economic, etc.);
* Critically analyse and discuss barriers to testing, counselling, prevention and treatment at international, national, and community level in a systems perspective;
* Apply relevant theories and concepts to formulate an HIV/AIDS programme targeting a specific population group as part of an existing national response in a given country;
* Design and develop appropriate management strategies for HIV/AIDS programmes, including planning, coordination, monitoring and evaluation, in national and local contexts.

Content: With improved access to ARV therapy in low- and middle income countries the response to the HIV pandemic has changed towards a more bio-medical approach. Whereas the international community has focused much on improving access to ARV therapy for people in need, often through vertical programmes, there is an increasing need to strengthen the capacity of professionals to translate protocols and guidelines into workable programmes for local health care systems and with a renewed focus on prevention.
The course content reflects local, national as well a global perspectives and is structured around the following themes:

* Programmatic responses to HIV
* Expanded access to ARV treatment programmes
* Involvement of civil society, such as NGOs, faith-based organisations and HIV-positive networks.

"We cannot afford to say, ‘we must tackle other diseases first - HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis - then we will deal with chronic diseases'. If we wait even 10 years we will find that the problem is even larger and more expensive to address."
Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The University of Copenhagen is offering an intensive course on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) to professionals working in or aiming at a career in the field. The course covers the main aspects of NCD prevention and control with special focus on global and national strategies. Upon completion of the course, participants will have strengthened their capacity to become better planners, managers, trainers and implementers of NCD programmes and integrated NCD care and prevention activities.

Content: The course will explore the evidence and the frameworks used to address the burden of non-communicable diseases through action on the conventional risk factors (lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and high blood pressure etc) but also more 'upstream factors' and the social determinants of health (e.g. urbanization, income, education, trade, health transitions).

This course aims also at providing participants with an in-depth theoretical and practical insight into how national NCD programmes can be developed, integrated and maintained in a local, national and global perspective.
