MPA Master of Public Health

The Master of Public Health programme offers academic and applied vocational and developmental training in public health practice. The purpose of the programme is to enhance students’ knowledge and skills obtained in their roles in the public and private sectors as well as in their previous studies. It will provide students with skills and tools in health risk assessment, infection and control of disease, and promote healthy lifestyles for the most vulnerable within communities.

You will engage in critical evaluations of theories for solving complex public health challenges with various applications and modes of resolution within a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines including health and medicine, sociology and anthropology, economics, marketing and information technology.

Engage in practice-based specialisations in public policy, occupational health and safety, diet and nutrition, emergency and disaster management, global health, and environmental health and learn how to deal with current and emergent public health issues. In terms of research, the programme design will stimulate student-led learning towards developing a solid foundation in applied health research methodologies. Acquire an integrated comprehension of public health and its agencies in different social contexts.
