The course is composed of two modules: a 5-week e-learning module in May-June and a 1- week on-campus module in Copenhagen in mid-August.

The e-learning module consists of weekly assignments combining lectures, quizzes, exercises and on-line discussions.

During the on-campus part, One Health concepts and approaches are presented and discussed through case-work in small groups, e.g. disease surveillance, source identification, risk assessment, prevention and control models and experiences from the course participants’ own countries are included when possible. Case-study topics may include antimicrobial resistance, meat production and consumption, pandemic viral diseases, mycotoxins and parasitic zoonoses.

The case-studies are facilitated by experts within a range of topics of relevance for One Health. The course participants are expected to be present and actively contribute to the course topics and group work throughout the week and there are group presentations after some of the exercise that constitute part of the evaluation of the students. The on-campus week will be concluded with a written examination.
