Programme Eligibility & Candidacy
Candidacy
In most cases, the Programme will include a significant Public Health component or fall under the wider Public Health umbrella of subjects. These Programmes will be offered at undergraduate, postgraduate or doctoral levels. Programmes below undergraduate degree level are not eligible for accreditation. All Programmes must have a clearly defined curriculum, and courses within the curriculum each have a syllabus, including documented teaching, learning and assessment strategies that demonstrate how learning outcomes will be achieved. These are typically outlined in a Programme Handbook.
