La mention Santé Publique / Public Health s’inscrit parfaitement dans deux des trois thèmes fédérateurs portés par l’université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (UCBL) que sont la Santé et l’Environnement, ainsi que dans le thème Biosanté et société. La volonté est également forte pour l’UCBL de soutenir la recherche conduite en partenariat avec les établissements de recherche nationaux (EPST) et le secteur hospitalier. Dans le domaine de la Santé, l’UCBL soutient fermement le développement de recherches multidisciplinaires.

La mention Santé Publique / Public Health forme des chercheurs de haut niveau, à l’interface Sciences –Santé, et intègre largement les nouvelles orientations (« big data», e-learning, simulations en médecine systémique).

L’objectif de cette formation est l’acquisition des outils méthodologiques nécessaires à la mise en œuvre d’une démarche de recherche - production à l’interface entre les sciences et la santé.

Pour les étudiants des cursus scientifiques, ce master s’inscrit dans le cadre de la poursuite de leur formation initiale vers différents métiers de la santé publique. Les parcours proposés associent le côté opérationnel de la formation proposée au niveau master tout en ouvrant la possibilité d’une poursuite de cursus en thèse.

Pour les étudiants du secteur santé (médecine, odontologie, pharmacie, maïeutique, école vétérinaire) ce master apporte une formation en santé publique dans le cadre d’un double cursus orienté recherche.

Pour les étudiants en école d’ingénieur, ce master apporte une formation complémentaire en biomédecine quantitative dans les secteurs de la recherche faisant appel aux technologies les plus avancées.

The Public Health Master’s programme fits perfectly within two of the three overarching themes promoted by Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 (UCBL) — Health and Environment — as well as within the broader theme of Biosciences and Society.
UCBL is strongly committed to supporting research conducted in partnership with national research institutions (EPST) and the hospital sector. In the field of Health, the university actively promotes the development of multidisciplinary research.

The Public Health Master’s degree aims to train high-level researchers working at the interface between science and health, integrating emerging orientations such as big data, e-learning, and systemic medicine simulations.

The programme’s objective is to provide students with the methodological tools required to implement research and production approaches at the crossroads of science and health disciplines.

For students from scientific backgrounds, this Master’s serves as a natural continuation of their initial education, opening access to various careers in public health. The proposed pathways combine hands-on professional training at Master’s level with the possibility of pursuing doctoral studies

For students in health-related fields (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, midwifery, veterinary schools), the Master’s offers training in public health as part of a dual, research-oriented curriculum.

For engineering students, this Master’s provides complementary training in quantitative biomedicine, preparing them for research careers in sectors that rely on the most advanced technologies.

The Public Health Master’s degree trains high-level professionals and researchers for a wide range of careers in health research, healthcare management, and public health policy. Graduates may pursue careers as:

• Biostatisticians, biomathematicians, and bioinformaticians, or specialists in artificial intelligence (AI) modelling, working in industrial or academic research sectors in health.

• Professionals in drug development, both in the pharmaceutical industry and academic settings, experts in clinical trial methodology, trained in modern methods of investigation and digital modelling.

• Epidemiologists specialising in large-scale health risk studies, experts in risk management related to healthcare practices, and specialists in patient safety.

• Professionals in planning, management, and evaluation of public and community health initiatives at the population level.

• Project managers in national or local health governance structures, leading public health intervention programmes.

• Experts in health service and organisational evaluation (Health Services Research), as well as specialists in clinical, medical, and pharmacoeconomic evaluation methods (Clinical Research).

• Health professionals involved in risk assessment and risk management across various healthcare settings.

• Project leaders, executives, and managers in organisations working in Global Health (NGOs, national or international agencies), overseeing research projects on human health, particularly in low- and middle-income countries or among vulnerable populations.
