About B.Sc. Public Health

B.Sc. Public Health is a 3- to 4-year undergraduate healthcare programme that focuses on disease prevention, health promotion, epidemiology, environmental health, healthcare management, and community wellness. The course equips students with the knowledge and skills to improve public health systems, develop health policies, manage disease outbreaks, and promote healthy lifestyles at local, national, and global levels. The curriculum integrates medical sciences, epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, nutrition, healthcare administration, and health education.
