Overview

The Health Sciences - Public Health program from University of Lethbridge has been designed to give students the advanced skills they need for competitive entry into the public health workforce as program managers, program evaluators, infectious disease control analysts, and policy analysts, among other positions, and also provides excellent preparation for a health-related Ph.D.

Year Two: Thesis Research

In Year Two, students will complete an MSc thesis under the direction of a faculty member in Public Health.

Why a Thesis Matters

Employers are looking for professionals who have more than textbook learning. Research is a skill that requires advanced study and hands-on experience. A thesis gives you the research experience you need to compete for advanced positions in public health in government, not-for-profit, and industry.

This program takes you beyond the classroom, through direct experience conducting research for your MSc thesis. You will have the opportunity to work on active research studies in the faculty. You will gain hands-on experience designing, carrying out, and analyzing data for complex research studies with human populations.

Scientific publishing dramatically increases your competitiveness in the workforce. We will teach you how to write concise, plain language thesis chapters for practical use through scientific publication and dissemination to the community.
