Presentation

This programme is aimed at offering solutions to problems in public health in developing countries. It is based on an integrated approach to health problems, it responds to the priority needs of people in the South as the know-how acquired can be applied directly to a country's context.

At the end of this training, students will be able to analyze the determinants, measure the importance of health problems in developing countries, identify priorities for health and development, develop, implement and evaluate appropriate sanitary and medico-social intervention strategies, and contribute to the omplementation of policies and relevant intersectorial programmes for development. Thus, students, health professionals who have held responsibilities in a distric health or regional leadership, will hold services and health care more effective, more efficient and fairer.

Access conditions

  • Academic masters grade issued by a Belgian university or an institute of higher education, or a comparable diploma considered to be worth at least 300 credits by the jury.
  • Minimum two years experience in the field for doctors and minimum five years in all other cases.
  • A maximum of 5% of students without professional experience but who have a diploma equivalent to a masters worth 120 credits can be admitted.

*Limited number of places. Before enrolling, students must make contact with the president of the jury for the examination level in order to obtain authorisation from the programme management committee.

Duration

  • One year of studies. The study programme includes 477.5 hours of classes, seminars or practical work. With the help of one of the co-ordinators, students are required to establish a study programme in accordance with the provisions below and to have it approved by the joint programme management committee.
  • Teaching is in French. A passive knowledge of scientific English is an additional asset for students. If necessary, remediation measures may be recommended by the joint programme management committee.
  • The compulsory recommended classes are organised at UCL, ULB and ULg by grouping them into whole days at the same site to limit travel.
  • Insofar as it is possible, students benefit from access to the various structures of the three Schools of Public Health as well as the resources accessible to students from the three faculties of medicine established on these three campuses.
