Master of Public Health
The Master
of Public Health (MPH) programme was introduced in 1991.
Candidates for the degree of Master of Public Health (MPH) will
have completed the Post Graduate Diploma in Public Health or an
equivalent qualification at an acceptable level of attainment.
The MPH is a one year full-time equivalent course and will comprise
either a thesis or a dissertation and two papers, including DPH
papers not already completed to gain that qualification. One of
the papers may be substituted, with the approval of the Faculty,
from another degree programme.
Those interested in MPH study should contact their nearest Department
of Public Health/Preventive and Social Medicine for further information
and an enrolment form. Enrolments for the thesis option may be accepted
at any time.
Entry to the MPH will depend on available teaching and supervisory
resources, and on prior performance. The University of Otago expects
a good B grade average in the DPH for entry to the MPH.
Faculty of Public Health Medicine registrars may be eligible
for early entry to the MPH in order to meet the Faculty of Public
Health Medicine training requirements to start the thesis or dissertation
in the first year of their training. Such candidates must have
achieved a standard satisfactory to the Board of the Faculty of
Medicine in the papers taken in the first semester of the DPH.
