    <p><strong><u>Programme accreditation</u></strong> refers to programmes which  sequentially follow on from at least a first cycle degree education with a  focus on public health. </p>
    <p><br>
      These programmes are generally considered  &quot;master&quot; level and equivalent to a &quot;master of Public  Health&quot; (The titles of such awards varies widely and can include terms  such as MPH, MSc, Master of health sciences, public health care, public health  management or public health epidemiology). </p>
    <p><br>
      The accreditation process is based upon a &quot;fitness  for purpose&quot; approach and monitors the programmes through the use of  standards and site visits. </p>
    <p><br>
      The steps toward programme accreditation include: </p>
    <ul>
      <li>the validation of the programme's  curriculum, </li>
      <li>a thorough self-evaluation conducted,</li>
      <li>a 2 day site visit of reviewers. </li>
    </ul>
    <p>The period covered by programme accreditation is  6 years. </p><!-- InstanceEndEditable --></div>
