Global Directory of Academic Programs in Evaluation

The program distinguishes itself from others in several ways. Firstly, it prioritizes a combination of public health and education sciences over traditional public health tools such as epidemiology, health economics, and sociology of health. Additionally, the program is structured around four distinct areas of application, including health education for adolescents and young adults, health evaluation, risk sciences in environmental and occupational health, and therapeutic patient education. The mastery of public health tools is incorporated into each of these four courses, with the first year being identical for all students regardless of the course they choose in the second year.

The program aims to train students for careers in the evaluation, management, monitoring, and administration of education and training systems. It is targeted towards individuals employed in the National Education system, including teachers, educational advisors, and National Education inspectors, etc. The Master'sdegree offers professional development opportunities, including promotions, for individuals in stable employment. The program is also open to executives from Ministries of National Education in developing countries and teachers seconded to educational projects abroad.

Upon completion of program, students should be proficient in conducting evaluation work and applying a thoughtful evaluation approach. They will be able to: i) design an evaluation process, including the creation of a well-reasoned proposal for the public policy being studied, and assess the results; ii) collect, process, and analyze new or existing data, using theoretical and methodological knowledge; iii) generate conclusions that can be supported by those responsible for public action; and iv) lead a team, effectively communicate with multiple stakeholders, and foster a culture of dialogue.

The program offers training in social sciences applied to the fields of health and social issues with a solid European and international outlook. Students will be trained to use analysis and evaluation methodologies, and will be able to define objectives, assess programs and create indicators and decision-making tools.

The program aims to prepare students for further academic study in a PhD program or for direct entry into the workforce. The M2 EEDS concentration provides advanced training in economic analysis and evaluation, focusing on development, the environment, and sustainable development. This concentration helps students acquire the skills necessary for a PhD or a job in the field. The course emphasizes the political economy of development, taking into account the importance of context in analyzing and addressing important issues such as sustainable development goals, pro-poor growth, participatory processes, and environmental regulation instruments.

This program is designed to train executives in economics, finance, and public management methods. Graduates will be skilled in supporting public decision-making and proficient in data compilation, analysis, and statistical or qualitative processing. It prepares students for careers in the evaluation of public policies, local finances, and territorial economic development. It targets executives in regional and central administration and private consultants working for the public sector. The course places a strong emphasis on group work and personal projects, including assignments, presentations, and case studies. A significant portion of the lessons will involve hands-on application of course material.

This program is designed to provide those interested with the opportunity to gain additional qualifications for scientific or professional work in this research and professional field, which offers excellent career development opportunities as part of a Master'sdegree. The course is structured to be studied part-time. The practical course prepares you both for the scientific processing of evaluation questions and for expert and advisory work in the field of evaluation. It also provides core competencies that prepare you for tasks related to quality management and organizational development within the organization, opening up a wide range of career paths. The continuing education course is aimed at professionals with at least one year of relevant work experience. This professional experience does not need to be related to the field of evaluation.

The course aims to provide participants with the essential skills to design and analyze research based on evidence. It trains participants in: i) translating policy concerns into research questions; ii) analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data; iii) understanding the current state of the field; and iv) designing, composing, and disseminating proposals for evidence-based research, both in the workplace and in broader research settings.

The program is characterized by its interdisciplinarity, the practical relevance of the course content and the well-founded knowledge and skills of our lecturers. It is primarily aimed at people who commission evaluations or are responsible for the management of evaluations.

The Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in Evaluation builds on the Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) level. In addition to the topics dealt with in the CAS, it conveys the methodological skills that are necessary for conducting evaluations (including written and oral surveys, group methods, evaluation of qualitative and quantitative data, interpretation and reporting). This DAS is aimed at people who work as evaluators themselves.
