This repository contains standardized technical documentation and course structures for two graduate-level modules within the Master’s Degree in Public Health, under the Public Health Policies section. These templates serve as blueprints for course delivery, learning assessment, and accreditation standards.

Repository overview and usage instructions |
The goal of this implementation is to provide a structured, multilingual (English, Greek, French) framework for academic courses. Each template follows European Higher Education Area (EHEA) standards, ensuring clear learning outcomes and workload transparency.
| Course Code | Title | Semester | ECTS Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSPYL201 | Structure and Organization of Public Health Laboratories | B | 6 |
| MSPYL302 | Epidemiological Surveillance Methodology | C | 6 |
The courses aim to develop both specific scientific knowledge and general professional skills:
- Scientific Proficiency: Understanding laboratory contributions to public health, risk assessment of biological parameters, and design of surveillance systems.
- General Competencies: Data synthesis using modern technologies, decision-making, and the ability to work in international/interdisciplinary environments.
Both courses utilize a blended learning approach:
- Delivery Methods: Face-to-face lectures and distance learning (synchronous via MS Teams and asynchronous via Moodle).
- ICT Integration: Use of e-learning platforms for notes, lecture slides, case reports, and laboratory quizzes.
- Workload: Each course represents a total workload of 150 hours per semester.
The templates break down complex public health topics into 13 distinct units:
- MSPYL201: Biosecurity levels, quality management, molecular diagnosis, and communication with decision-making centers.
- MSPYL302: Surveillance in emergency situations, COVID-19 pandemic monitoring, and epidemic investigation through cohort and case-control studies.
Performance is assessed through a standardized summative process:
- Method: Final written examination worth 100% of the grade
- Format: Multiple-choice questions, short answers, and problem-solving exercises
- Passing Criteria: Minimum grade of 5/10 required for successful completion
The courses are supported by high-level academic resources:
- World Health Organization (WHO): International Health Regulations and Laboratory Biosafety Manuals
- CDC: Field Epidemiology Manuals and Biosafety in Microbiological Laboratories
- Standardization: ISO 35001 for Biorisk Management
