Overview
This Master of Public Health Management (MPH) with a focus on Public Health Genomics is a specialized program that combines the principles of public health with the study of genomics, aiming to address health challenges at the intersection of genetics and population health. This program equips students with the knowledge and skills to understand how genetic factors contribute to health disparities, disease susceptibility, and public health outcomes.
The key components of this MPH in Public Health Genomics include:
Genomic Epidemiology: Study the role of genetics in disease occurrence, distribution, and control within populations, including genetic variations, heritability, and impact on disease patterns.
Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI): Emphasize responsible use of genetic information, privacy issues, and potential societal impacts of genomic research.
Public Health Policy and Advocacy: Integrate genomics into policy and practice, understanding implications of research for health policy and advocating for policies promoting public health.
Health Promotion and Education: Develop effective communication strategies to convey complex genetic information to diverse populations.
Disease Prevention Strategies: Explore how genomic information informs disease prevention and health promotion, including identifying genetic risk factors and developing targeted interventions.
Global Health Perspectives: Examine how genomics impacts health globally, considering genetic diversity, international collaborations, and addressing global health inequalities.
Interdisciplinary Approach: Encourage collaboration across disciplines like public health, genetics, ethics, policy, and healthcare to address complex health challenges.
The program is comprised of 138 ECTS credits and can be completed in about 18 months. For a detailed list of courses taught in this program, please refer to the curriculum.
After completion of 42 credits, an interim qualification of Advanced Diploma in Public Health Management is awarded. This part of your studies only includes coursework. This is followed by the completion of additional 72 credits via coursework and 24 credits via dissertation under the guidance of a mentor.
