At the Department of Public Health, students are taught and mentored by experienced, dedicated faculty who prioritise academic quality, professional growth, and student success. We promote an active research culture focused on priority public health needs. This spans from environmental and occupational health risks, health promotion, disease prevention, and nutrition. We ensure that teaching remains grounded in current realities and practical problem-solving. We also work closely with local institutions and stakeholders, strengthening learning through collaboration, improving community engagement, and creating opportunities for joint initiatives that address public health challenges.

Practical Training and Student Development

Embedded in all our programmes are experiential learning opportunities, so students graduate with confidence and are ready for the workplace. Among these opportunities are:

• Internship placements in health facilities and relevant organisations, helping students apply classroom knowledge in real public health settings.
• Annual field visits to public health institutions, exposing students to practical operations, systems, and emerging sector challenges.
• Structured support that builds professionalism, teamwork, leadership, and communication
