To compare the main academic characteristics and contents of the different master's programs in public health currently offered in Spain.
A systematic search has been carried out in the Register of Universities, Centers and Degrees of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports. The main academic characteristics and the contents (mandatory and optional) of the programs of 11 official master's degrees with the renewed accreditation in 2018 were analyzed based on the data published on the universities' web pages.
Most programs are 60 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), face-to-face, taught in Spanish, include in their curriculum the completion of a master's thesis but not professional practices. Only contents related to statistics and basic epidemiology, and the training activity of master's thesis, are offers by all programs.
The majority of public health master's programs in Spain shows a certain homogeneity regarding their academic characteristics, but a great heterogeneity in relation to their contents. There is also a great heterogeneity in the credits granted to the different subjects, especially optional subjects. It would be advisable to standardize a common core, especially in the mandatory contents.
比较西班牙目前提供的不同公共卫生硕士项目的主要学术特点和内容。
在教育、文化和体育部的大学、中心及学位注册处进行了系统搜索。根据大学网页上公布的数据，分析了2018年获得重新认证的11个官方硕士学位项目的主要学术特点和内容（必修和选修）。
大多数项目为60学分（欧洲学分转换与积累系统），面授课程，用西班牙语授课，课程包括完成硕士论文，但不包括专业实践。所有项目都提供与统计学和基础流行病学相关的内容以及硕士论文的培训活动。
西班牙大多数公共卫生硕士项目在学术特点上表现出一定的同质性，但在内容方面存在很大的异质性。不同课程所授予的学分，尤其是选修课程，也存在很大的异质性。建议规范一个共同的核心内容，特别是在必修内容方面。
