Course objectives
The goal of the EHESP Master of Public Health is to 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, and to 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.
The courses take place in Paris.
Career opportunities
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.
