The Master of Science in Public Health offers a robust grounding in public health research and practice, preparing graduates to take on leadership roles across public sector, NGO, and international organizations.
Engaging lectures are led by experts, professionals, and advocates working at the forefront of public health. Our goal is to prepare you to enter the evolving public health sector with advanced research methodologies and cross-disciplinary competencies.
The program features four mandatory core modules (Principles and Practice of Public Health, Epidemiology, Essential Statistics in Health and Medical Research, and Research Methods and Critical Appraisal), alongside diverse elective options (such as Health Protection, Nutrition in Public Health, Population Mental Health, Global Burden and Management of Disease, Economic Evaluation of Health), culminating in a dissertation that enables specialization aligned with professional goals.
Modules are taught through intensive one-week immersions, with intervals dedicated to seminars, tutorials, coursework, research, and extracurricular pursuits. This flexible format is particularly suited for working professionals studying part-time.
