The MPH with pathways in either epidemiology, health promotion, or leadership and management (each 90 ECTS at MQF/EQF Level 7) provides a rigorous, intellectually demanding and vocationally relevant programme of study at postgraduate level (MQF/EQF Level 7) in key areas and topics related to public health. Depending on the pathway and module choices made by students the following awards are available:

In addition to the above five core modules students may select two 10 ECTS modules from the list given below. Students would be able to choose their topic area for the dissertation/project from the following list:

Public health for an aging population
Qualitative research methods in health
Health promotion and health improvement
Advanced epidemiology
Leadership and management in health

All students will be required to take the 30 ECTS module in which a public health dissertation or project is undertaken. Tutorial guidance will be provided to ensure that each student selects a topic or health-related area that aligns with the pathway chosen, where appropriate, and meets their career aspirations.

In addition to the above five core modules students must take the Advanced Epidemiology (10 ECTS) module and undertake their dissertation/project in epidemiology. The sixth 10 ECTS module may be selected from one of the modules listed below.

Public health for an aging population

Assessments for this MPH will be through a range of different types of coursework. Across the modules of this programme the range of coursework assessment will include: structured essays, critical evaluation, case studies, quantitative and qualitative analysis, literature reviews, individual reflective learning logs, portfolios, group presentations, critical reflection of group/team work, posters, project proposals and project reports.

Assessment Methods

Formative and summative assessment approaches will be employed. Formative assessment tasks will be used in all modules and will support students to understand and prepare for module summative assessment requirements. As a result, students with different learning styles and abilities will be able to gain a better understanding of the summative assessment requirements and on their journey to submitting their summative assessments. Where appropriate, some form of peer assessment will be used to facilitate collaborative learning – this will be best achieved through formative assessment process.

Assignment briefs will be produced for each of the summative assessments required by each of the modules on this MPH programme. Assignment briefs will set out the learning outcomes being assessed, appropriate material and context for the assignment. Suggested reading will include book chapters, published articles and published research, weblinks to companies, and case studies, as appropriate, from the assignment brief. Each assignment brief will include marking/grading criteria so that students have a clear understanding of what is required to pass the assessment and what is required to achieve higher grades. Grading of a student’s assessment will be made using the pass, merit, distinction and fail criteria common to MQF/EQF Level 7 programmes of study.

Feedback will be provided to each student on their assessed work identifying both areas of strength and areas that could be improved. Where a fail grade is awarded the student will receive detailed feedback on the reasons for awarding such a grade and the areas that would need to be addressed for improvement and to achieve a pass grade.

All summative assessed work will be first marked by the academic staff teaching the module. Moderation of participant work will take place on graded summative assessments. GBS HE Malta will also appoint an external examiner with expertise and experience of teaching and assessment on the MPH or similar programme. Assessment Boards will be held to review student assessment work, tutor module reports and feedback from external examiners. Grades will be released formally to students only after a Assessment Board meeting approves grades for summative module assessments.

Where a student has undertaken a consultancy or internship for the 30 ECTS project/dissertation module and does not pass, for example, due to problems with the consultancy or internship being cut short, the participant would be given a dissertation in the form of a critical literature review or similar that can be achieved in the time. Ideally, this should be in the same or a similar area to the consultancy or internship.

The table below shows the range and type of different assessments for each of the modules associated with the MPH. Care has been taken to provide a range of challenging and different types of assessments to develop and embed student competences, knowledge and skills for the programme overall and for each of the constituent modules. Assessment across the taught modules is based on a workload equivalent to written work of 4,000 words across assignments. Hence where there are two assessments for a module each with 50% weighting each are 2,000 words. Where there are posters and presentations among others these have been based on 1,000 word equivalences. Where there are practical data analyses, these have been based on the equivalent of a work load of 2,000 words.

For the project/dissertation the main report requirement is 10,000 words, 750 words for the research proposal and a poster equivalent to 1,000 words.
