‘As a distance learner, besides the knowledge gained from the course material, I have also appreciated the opportunity for networking during contact time. I found the course material engaging and the learning platform (iKamva) was easy to navigate. I appreciated the great calibre of educators, the collaborative style and the open approach to public health and social justice. As a mature learner, I felt supported throughout the course and valued the additional sessions on academic reading and writing, how to use Mendeley and how to perform searches in the library. ‘I can already see how my MPH experience has changed the way I think and how I approach issues in my sphere of work - hopefully towards a more holistic, inclusive child health service, not only at my hospital, but on a broader level.’ 2020 MPH graduate, Anita Parbhoo, South Africa
