In order to be compatible with the schedule of professionals, classes will be delivered every fortnight (Monday to Friday) from August to mid June.
Students will be asked to work between weekends (distance-learning facilities and homeworks).
M1 will be made of four components:
A basic core curriculum
with lectures alternating within seminars, and a conference given by a high-level guest lecturer from a field of public health. These modules will cover the aforementioned five core disciplines of public health.
Students will also be expected to produce personal work between sessions, primarly in the shape of homework exercises and bibliographical syntheses on which to base oral presentations and group discussions.
Five case studies,
performed by small groups of students, each focussing on one of the five main themes. The lecturer will present the context and the goals to be achieved. Personal work will include bibliographical research, project design, investigation, data collection, simulation, computer programming, etc. Student output will be the writing of a short paper and an oral presentation.
Three interdisciplinary tracts,
the first two relating to Global health and Emerging infectious diseases, each calling upon at least three of the five public health domains listed above. A third interdisciplinary tract is to be organized jointly by EHESP, Collège de France and AgroParis Tech, in the form of videoconference seminars: « Public health, biology and evolution ».
A week abroad,
led by several faculty members in a host school of public health, in the context of international cooperation and somewhat similar to a summer school. Students will be expected to understand and describe the particulars of the host country’s health system and compare them with the French system or with their own country. At the end of this trip, students will have to hand in individual work – or work done in small groups.
