Abstract:

This study is about the discourses that drove the Brazilian legislation on Master in Public Health degree, and how a Brazilian School of Public Health took on such discourses in its course proposals. Discourse analysis techniques were applied to legal documents and to sixteen master programmes developed. Regard the legislation, its historical background allowed comprehend that the initial lack of definition progressively gave place to the understanding that the identity of such post-graduate education assumes pedagogical practices to promoting the strengthening of the relations between the academic and labour world. Such concept, however, does not prevail in the master programmes offered by the BSPH. The course proposals operate with consolidated qualification arrangements and generally tend to shape the master programmes in similarity with those of the academic one. It is assumed in this study that all proposals would express the intentions and programmes’ perspectives in the public health area and which identity is not yet clear.
