Master of Public Health accreditations

EHESP is accredited by the French Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research to award the Master of Public Health (Decree of the 8th of July 2022).
The MPH course is also validated from January 2022 for a period of 6 years by the Agency for Public Health Education Accreditation (APHEA), 1st specific accreditation system for education in public health at the European level, as part of the institutional accreditation of the School accredited by the same agency.
Since 4 December 2019, the EHESP School of public health has been awarded “Bienvenue en France” (Welcome to France) label with 3 stars, which rewards the quality of welcome for international students. This labelling will enable our School to continue to develop initiatives for international students as well as strengthen the attractiveness and international visibility of EHESP.
On 13 March 2024, our 3-stars Label was renewed for a period of 5 years. Maintaining our level of accreditation reflects and rewards our ongoing investment in improving conditions for international students.

Course objectives
The goal of the EHESP Master of Public Health (MPH) is to train young professionals to identify the health problems of a population, analyze the resources needed to preserve and improve population health, and progressively become a new generation of decision makers in health.
To achieve this, the EHESP pedagogy stresses an inter-disciplinary approach, consisting in placing students in realistic problem contexts from which they utilize various professional skills and methodologies. The MPH encourages a degree of specialisation according to the students’ career objectives.
Career opportunities
MPH graduates can expect a wide range of career opportunities, both nationally and internationally.
MPH Graduates develop their careers in areas as wide as government health departments, research units, universities, public health services, NGOs, international organizations or the private sector (pharmaceutical industry, consulting, healthcare organizations).
Some graduates have engaged in international or national PhD programs.

- social & behavior sciences in public health
- management and analysis of health policies
