Master Sante Publique

Tuition is 250 EUR per year.

Master Sante Publique is a two-year graduate program in public health, offered in French at Université de Bordeaux, located in Bordeaux, France. Public health is the discipline concerned with protecting and improving the health of populations rather than individual patients, covering epidemiology, health policy, disease prevention, health promotion, and the organization of health systems. Students typically study biostatistics, epidemiological methods, health economics, and the social determinants of health, learning to design and evaluate programs aimed at preventing disease and improving health outcomes across communities. Coursework often includes analysis of public health data, study of health policy and regulation, and project work tied to specific health issues, such as infectious disease control, chronic disease prevention, or health system management. Graduates of public health masters programs pursue careers as public health officers, epidemiologists, health policy analysts, program managers within health agencies, or researchers, working across government bodies, hospitals, nonprofit organizations, and international health institutions. Because instruction is entirely in French, applicants should have strong French language skills to work through health policy documents, statistical coursework, and research literature central to the field. The program starts in September and has a yearly tuition of 250 EUR, in line with public university tuition rates in France. Over the two years, students typically move from foundational epidemiology and biostatistics toward more specialized coursework in health policy, program evaluation, or a particular area of public health practice. Bordeaux, a major city in southwestern France, is home to significant health research and medical institutions that offer relevant context for internships and applied public health projects.
