At Public Health U, our courses are tailored to equip students with the necessary competencies to enhance population health. We aim to empower individuals with the skills to implement programs that are action-oriented and evidence-based, emphasizing collaboration and the utilization of open educational resources. The Dissertation course serves as to evaluate students’ ability to reflect on these objectives and apply acquired skills effectively. This component of the program offers students a structured, supervised, and evaluated opportunity in public health practice. It entails integrating professional knowledge, designing and employing methods to address public health problems, collecting and analyzing data, and communicating findings effectively.
Students are required to complete 2 courses Research Methods and Public Health Ethics simultaneously with the Dissertation Module. These courses are crafted with the explicit aim of guiding students towards producing robust research and ethical considerations, ensuring their dissertations are not only academically sound but also ethically grounded.Ultimately, students are expected to provide evidence-based conclusions and recommendations for policy, planning, practice, or research within their chosen area of focus.
Prerequisites for the Dissertation
Successful completion of the prerequisite modules, the required modules, and 2-3 electives, without any fail, is required (having achieved a diploma level).
