Requirements

At Public Health U, we want our courses to provide the competencies to improve the health of populations. We want to give people the skills to implement programs and be action-oriented and evidence-based. We also stress the importance of collaboration and the use of open educational resources. The Dissertation course is designed to test the ability of the students to reflect on these objectives and apply the skills they have learned. This part of the program will provide the student with a planned, approved, supervised, and assessed public health practice opportunity that involves: the integration of professional knowledge; designing and application of methods to examine one or more public health problems/issues; application of data/evidence collection, analysis, and interpretation, and professional communication skills; and providing evidence-based conclusions and recommendations for policy, planning, practice, or research in the selected area.

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).
