Course objectives

Train young professionals to:
• Identify the health problems of a population
• Analyse the resources needed to contribute to preserving and improving this state of health
• Take decisions to achieve this

Teaching will stress an inter-disciplinary approach, putting students in realistic situations in which they will have to call upon relevant and varied skills, methodologies and professional practices. This training will also encourage a certain degree of specialisation according to the students’ career objectives. Graduates of this master can expect a wide range of career openings both nationally and internationally in public health.
It can also be combined as a double degree with a doctorate (in medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine) or another Master course in epidemiology and biostatistics, computer science, toxicology, management, sociology, economy, law, demography, geography, architecture, engineering sciences…
Some MPH degree recipients may engage beyond in a doctoral project.
For year 1, classes are compatible with the schedule of full-time professionals; students will be asked to work between weekends (distance-learning facilities).
For M2, classes will be full time and very intensive, with two revision periods to prepare the modules’ validation exams.


Contents

The master is based on 5 basic disciplines offered in the core curriculum where the interdisciplinary nature of public health issues will be stressed:
