titul 'magister' , konkretne 'Magister verejneho zdravotnictva' - Master of Public Health?

Zda sa mi, ze som pocula, ze sa nema prekladat 'magister' ako 'Master'?

Dakujem vopred za pomoc.

Explanation:
the title's don't perfectly line up, since they come from different academic systems, but it's really the closest you can get.

MSc in Public Health Management


Explanation:
nebo Masters degree in Public Health Management

Souhlasím, s Mikem, že problém je v rozdílnosti akademických systémů. MSc je "magisterský" titul, který se (zcela jistě v UK) uděluje za studium následující po BA, ale ne ještě doktorské (PhD). Jedná se jiné než humanitní obory, což by podle názvu oboru, který uvádíte odpovídalo.

neutral  Lirka: why MSc? say simply Master of Public Health; in this case it is not differentiated between MA and MSc
