IIHMR University Offers International Scholarships for MPH Programme
May, 2016: The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) offers the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree program in Jaipur, India, with the cooperation of IIHMR University. The Master of Public Health is a two-year full-time program. Applications are invited for its fourth batch starting from October 2016.
Dr. SD, Gupta, President, IIHMR University, said, "Public Health has changed dramatically in the last century. There is a dire necessity to build public health capacities in developing countries, especially in the low and middle income countries. We have limited capacities and skills in public health, also, we hardly find a high quality public health program that is designed to encourage and respond to the health problems in low and middle income countries.
Hence, it is time to re-examine our curriculums to ensure we are delivering education, research, practices and experience that is vibrant, viable, relevant and realistic. This is primarily the reason and what we aim to provide with our cooperative program of Master of Public Health."
Dr. Gupta added, "What is even more striking is that the program's fee is one third of what a student would be shelling from his pocket when he opts for any other MPH program in the USA. The course fee for JHSPH/IIHMR MPH program is USD 22000. Students admitted to this program will be provided a travel and stay international scholarship to attend two-week course on Problem Solving in Public Health at an Intensive Institute at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, USA.
The MPH degree program is designed to focus on public health capacity building in developing countries, cultivate students' health management skills so that they will be prepared to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of publichealth programs and services.
The program will be able to prepare professionals for challenging careers in public health domain in the public as well as private sectors, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), national and multinational organizations".
