Masters and Doctoral Programs
CIET,
through its centre at the University of Guerrero in Mexico, offers a
Masters in Public Health degree whose purpose is to develop a group of
professionals who can support communities throughout the world to gain
voice in the planning process. The programme emphasizes the acquisition
of the skills to conduct and train others in each of the methods that
go into a CIET cycle of evidence-based planning. A combination of
supervised academic work, intensive field experience and training of
others is required, along with a thesis based on original field work.
CIET’s
doctoral programme aims to qualify a smaller number of professionals
who can serve as project team leaders having, in addition to the skills
required for the Master’s degree, the ability to design and negotiate
entire projects and programmes and take responsibility for bringing
these to successful completion. Candidates must complete advanced
course work under both CIET and non-CIET supervision, pass a doctoral
examination, have several years of field experience, be fluent in
English and another working language, and produce either an original
thesis of internationally recognized doctoral quality or three articles
published in indexed, peer-reviewed scientific journals.
