University profile
The Ecole des hautes etudes en sante publique (EHESP), the French School of Public Health, is a public establishment in Rennes with a dual role of education and research in public health and social welfare. It brings together the disciplines of public health and management and trains senior executives for health, social and medico-social services in France and abroad.
Four missions are conferred on the school by law: training people who exercise leadership, management, inspection or control functions in the health, social or medico-social fields; providing a network of higher education in public health; contributing to public health research; and developing international relations, in particular through exchanges with comparable institutions.
Teaching and research are organised around four departments: Quantitative Methods in Public Health, Environmental Health Sciences, the Institute of Management and Human and Social Sciences. The school reports about 90 lecturers, 12 training programmes for health-care professionals, master's, post-master's and doctoral degrees, institution-specific diplomas, 10 certificates and more than 250 short professional training programmes. It also runs preparatory courses for civil-service competitive examinations.
The Rennes campus covers 9 hectares with 7 buildings and welcomes about 400 students per week. Part of the courses are held in Paris at PariSante Campus. The campus has a restaurant, accommodation with catering, a documentation centre and a student office (B2E) federating student associations.
EHESP welcomes students from many countries. The Master of Public Health is taught in English, and the Europubhealth+ Erasmus Mundus master is coordinated by the school. It was the first European school accredited by APHEA, and also holds the Bienvenue en France quality label, HCERES accreditation, the HRS4R award, the DD&RS label and Qualiopi certification.
For 2025-2026 all international students entering an EHESP master's degree pay the differentiated registration fee of EUR 3,879. Under Article R719-50 of the Education Code, EHESP may partly or fully exempt up to 10% of registered students, with priority to students from least-developed and low- and middle-income countries on the World Bank list, and from Lebanon and Ukraine. A fee remission commission may review initial-training students who finance their studies and have proven difficulty paying.
The Contribution vie etudiante et de campus (CVEC) is paid in addition: EUR 103 (2024-2025 amount, subject to change).
Renewed Erasmus+ funding allows 60 full scholarships for worldwide students across the 2025 to 2028 intakes. Europubhealth+ page.
