Program Overview

The Mastère (MSc) and Ph.D. in Public Health, Epidemiology and Health Crisis Management offers advanced, interdisciplinary qualification designed to equip researchers, healthcare managers, and clinical leaders to respond to global sanitary emergencies. Emphasizing applied epidemiology, multilateral governance, health data analytics, and ethical leadership, the four-semester progression ensures rigorous academic and professional competencies culminating in the master dissertation or doctoral thesis.

Structural Differences: Mastère (MSc) vs. Ph.D.

The program of international vocation structured with reference to France is organized in an architecture of progressive complexity in two cycles.

Cycle I — Mastère (MSc)•Focus on technical instrumentation and practical application of knowledge•Duration of 18 to 36 months (1,500 hours)•Professional preparation for teaching and evidence-based management
Cycle II — Ph.D.•Directed toward high investigation and deep epistemology•Duration of 24 to 48 months (2,500 hours)•Writing and public defense of an original thesis of high impact
