Course objectives
The goal of the EHESP-CUMSPH 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 make policy decisions.
To achieve this, teaching will stress an interdisciplinary approach, putting students in realistic situations in which they will have to call upon multiple 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.
