The Master of Public Health (MPH) is one-year residential programme combining core courses, electives and an internship, and either a dissertation, a capstone project or a community service learning project. Our curriculum adheres to the competency frame of CEPH and is guided by the human development approach. Core courses provide foundational knowledge about population health and training in the qualitative and quantitative methods of public health. The electives allow students to explore innovations, develop specializations, and identify inter‑sectoral linkages.
