Semester 1 Time-table
Semester 2 Time-table
Introduction
A part-time coursework Master of Public Health has been offered in the Faculty of Health Sciences since 1999. It is offered as a multidisciplinary Public Health degree and is based on existing strengths at UCT, resulting in an emphasis on Epidemiology, Health Economics and Health research. However, social science based courses are offered as well.
Degree candidates from a variety of backgrounds will learn skills to assist them in contributing towards an effective and equitable health care system.
The flexible modular course structure enables collaboration among a number of departments at UCT and with other institutions in joint teaching programmes, in particular with the Public Health Programme at the University of the Western Cape.
The programme is taught as a series of semester length courses, some of which are compulsory for the degree and others elective. Candidates will need to complete 10 courses plus a mini-dissertation, achievable in two to three years of sustained part-time work. Health economics candidates will need to complete 8 courses plus a mini-dissertation, achievable in 18—24 months of full-time work.
