Techniques You Will Learn

Lecturing and Teaching:

This unit is designed for public health professionals of all relevant professional backgrounds, who will generally have an MPH degree, or equivalent (although this is not mandatory), and who are interested to learn more about public health at European level, including epidemiology, policy and management, and public health professionalisation in Europe. In this context Europe will usually be defined as the whole of the European Union and other countries in the European Economic Area. I have developed Powerpoint (ppt) slides-based lecture notes, and additionally I shall be explaining and guiding students in 30 minute sessions on a weekly basis, via Skype. In addition, course-related questions, advice on how to apply for various categories of EU funding, including for research, and career advice questions will be answered either by e-mail or via Skype chat.
