Students work on a group project, exploring in greater depth one of the issues discussed in class. Evaluation of student performance is based on a group project, a log, and course participation. The program offers 6 graduate points, which may be taken toward a Master of Public Health degree. Visiting students should consult with their home institution beforehand to ensure that points earned in this program may be applied toward their degrees. There are several field trips planned for the program.
Students are free on weekends to travel and to explore the Cape Town area.
In addition, the seminar is taught by faculty from the UCT Community Health Department and faculty from the University of the Western Cape, most of whom have a strong background in epidemiology and all of whom are engaged in community-based research. Accommodations Students reside in dormitory-style housing within walking distance of the University. Vans are provided for field trip travel. All rights reserved.
