Key Facts
Overview
The field of public health is of high importance as it focuses on health at a population/community level. People who are trained in public health and have advanced degrees in this field are in high demand globally.

The MPH offered by James Lind Institute, Switzerland has been conceptualized and designed by experts who have ensured that we teach our students applied public health fundamentals which differentiate our program from the more academic MPH programs. Our MPH program puts emphasis on practical aspects of solving public health challenges. We focus on the skill-building of our students so they can apply those skills immediately.
