Hide-1 year full-time - X299
2 years part-time - X300
Length of Programme
The full time course for the Master of Public Health extends over an academic year of study with lectures taking place Wednesday to Friday. Alternatively, a part time course is offered extending over two academic years, which involves completion of Blocks 1 and 3 in the first academic year, and Blocks 2 and 4 in the second academic year (lectures Wednesday to Friday)
Important - The part-time programme involves attendance at Blocks 1 and 3 during the first year, and Blocks 2 and 4 during the second year along with the full-time students. This therefore entails attendance full time on Wednesday - Friday during the blocks being completed. The dissertation will be completed during the second year of study.
