Bachelor of Science in Public Health

About The Program

In 2017, the World Health Organization integrated public health (PH) into Universal Health Coverage (UHC), a goal India aimed to achieve by 2022. Despite progress, India, and the world face persistent public health issues. New challenges have emerged, necessitating a specialized Public Health Cadre. These professionals bridge clinical and managerial aspects in program implementation, focusing on disease epidemiology, health determinants, policy, and management.

This program aims to equip individuals with essential knowledge to tackle India's public health challenges. Additionally, an integrated MPH program allows BSc PH students to earn an MPH degree in five years, enhancing their expertise and impact.

Duration

3 years. Year one includes a bridge course in Health Sciences.

For those opting for an integrated MPH program: 5 years (2 years of MPH). After joining for the integrated MPH programme, if any candidate decides to withdraw from the MPH course, s/he will have to undergo the1-year rural posting to be eligible for the BSc in PH degree.

Eligibility
