Launching of a new program : Public Health Genomics

We are excited to announce the launch of a new specialization within our Master of Public Health (MPH) management program: Public Health Genomics. This cutting-edge field integrates genomic data into public health strategies, aiming to enhance disease prevention, personalized medicine, and health outcomes at the population level.

With the rapid advancements in genetic research and technology, the Public Health Genomics specialization equips students with the knowledge to analyze genetic data and apply it to public health challenges. Our program emphasizes the translation of genomic information into actionable health policies and practices, preparing graduates to lead in an evolving healthcare landscape.

MPH-Public Health Genomics is a specialized program that combines the principles of public health with the study of genomics, aiming to address health challenges at the intersection of genetics and population health. This program equips students with the knowledge and skills to understand how genetic factors contribute to health disparities, disease susceptibility, and public health outcomes.

The program is comprised of 138 ECTS credits and can be completed in about 18 months. For a detailed list of courses taught in this program, please refer to the curriculum.

After completion of 42 credits, an interim qualification of Advanced Diploma in Public Health Management is awarded. This part of your studies only includes coursework.  This is followed by the completion of additional 72 credits via coursework and 24 credits via dissertation under the guidance of a mentor.

The program will be conducted fully online.
