What you will study
This master's programme in Public Health at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense is taught in English. The programme page is your starting point for the formal structure, courses and admission requirements. The source text provided here describes a research project, not the programme itself, so this description sticks to what that text states.
What you study
The programme works with questions about how values shape public health analysis and policy. The source text describes a project, Values and knowledge in public health analysis and policy, that examines the role of values in scientific inquiry and the impact different kinds of values have on the internal development of science and on science-related policy making. The project looks at the behavioural, normative and epistemological foundations of experimental methods used in public health analysis and policy. It uses these methods as case studies to criticise the value-free ideal of science and to propose alternatives to monist interpretations typical of standard utility-based economics.
A central aim is to show the epistemic and practical effects of value pluralism and the complementarity of epistemic and non-epistemic values when generating science and knowledge suitable to inform evidence-based and equity-oriented policies in democratic settings. The project argues that the interplay between these kinds of values can support virtuous scientific practices and produce better social outcomes when value-laden but still objective results inform health and healthcare policies in a fair society.
How the programme is organised
The source text does not describe the programme's structure, modules, teaching methods or credit load. It presents an article-based dissertation of five articles. For details of how the master's programme is organised, see the official programme page.
Who it suits
The questions raised in the source text suit students who want to examine how values and knowledge interact in public health analysis and policy. The project engages with philosophy of science, ethics and policy analysis, and it critiques standard utility-based economics. If you are interested in the normative and epistemological side of public health research, this area of study may appeal to you.
