Confused between 2 option

Advice Request

I am an international student planning to study MPH in Otago University and they have given me these 2 structure options to choose from.

The Master of Public Health (MPH) programme structure options are as follows:

  1. Papers only papers + a dissertation (2 years total) - required to be programme structure: 'Papers Only'

  2. Papers and thesis - 1 year of papers, and a 12-month thesis (2 years total) - required to be programme structure: 'Papers and Thesis'

The thing is I want to work at the clinical side after completing my masters and I guess the best option would be the first one but I have no idea about this stuff so if anyone could guide me it will be a big help for me. Also, I would like to know picking what kind of structure will have more job opportunities not only in New Zealand but around the globe too.
