The Masters of Public Health (MPH) is a two‑year postgraduate degree programme that enables students to attain specialized training, skills and competencies needed to embark on a career in public health. Building on the strong internationalization at JGU, the MPH introduces students to an interdisciplinary and seeks to build competencies through a range of Core Courses, Electives, Specializations, Disser tation and CAPSTONE options. In addition, students have the options of participating in semester exchange and study abroad programmes at key institutions and centers of excellence in public health around the world. In terms of outcomes, the students of the programme will be able to acquire the competencies, skills, and values based on the essential MPH competencies mandated by the University Grant Commission.
The MPH program is a two‑year course combining Core Courses, Electives, Internships, Dissertations, and Capstone Project. Our curriculum aligns with UGC’s mandated guidelines on essential public health education components while incorporating global principles and practices of public health and human development. Core Courses provide foundational knowledge and methodological training, while Electives allow students to explore innovations, develop specializations, and identify inter‑sectoral linkages. Our students have the option to select relevant Electives from other schools within JGU. The program employs diverse teaching methods, including classroom lectures, simulations, guided intervision, problem‑based learning (PBL), media and film analysis, community service learning (CSL), and field excursions.
Students can take courses within JSPH or across JGU in these areas of specialization and must pursue a dissertation in this area꞉
