Masters of Public Health Update

I am halfway through my MPH!

Due to COVID the format of this year was really different. It worked out really well, actually. I had to take four exams and do two papers. Last year I had three exams and it was brutal, doing four would have been rough. However, this year the exams were open book and we could take them anytime in a three week window. Once downloaded, we had 48 hours to upload the completed exam. Being able to spread everything out, focus on one thing at a time, and split the three questions over two days was amazing. 

So I likely have two years left. In those two years I’ll have to do a project (apparently the equivalent of 300 hours of work), three more exams and four more papers. Though I don’t love the online format (I love a classroom), and if I had taken a year off from work I could have gotten it done in just a year, having the end anywhere in sight is such a fantastic feeling. I being able to progress in my career whilst obtaining my masters is really invaluable. I honestly feel so lucky flexible learning like this is an option!
