Once you understood the main concepts and visions of Urban Health, and the best practices of observation in PART I, the theories and models in PART II, you are better prepared to take this PART III on Design and policies.
This PART III lasts 4 weeks, comprising two modules of 2 weeks each. The number of credits is 2 ECTS. To obtain these credits, you should achieve all the statements required each week. The final elaboration of a policy design and Health Impact assessment on your proper urban health question, will be specifically evaluated.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
