PhD programs
Our doctoral program provides a flexible curriculum that allows students to customize their research goals, methods, and activities based upon their own interests and preferences. Students on the Public Health Medicine (PHM) track of the Disease Prevention Global Leader Program (DP-GLP) attain the skills required for public health professionals with an international perspective. The program prepares them for leadership roles in public institutions. Advanced students from many countries around the world are now enrolled. All the classes are conducted in English, thus facilitating the acquisition of international communication skills.
A rich variety of educational activities have been arranged in the program. These include: individual discussion sessions with professors and other faculty members; field investigations; and seminars on various topics such as community health care, community medicine, public health policy, biostatistics, academic presentation, development of foreign language skills, and communication skills. Students work closely with faculty members on an individual basis in setting the right direction for their research and confirmation of their progress.

Master Programs
Master degree students receive systematic intensive training that leads to the acquisition of broad expertise in the field of global public health. This program is open to students who have majored in any field.

The objective of our postgraduate education is to provide professional qualifications to high-caliber people who exhibit leadership in the advancement of public health and promotion of health on an international scale. The department helps students attain the knowledge, skills, attitude, and experiences that are necessary for competent health specialists and social entrepreneurs in healthcare.
