COURSE CURRICULUM

In the first year, all health sciences students begin with the same courses during the first semester, which provide a broad and comprehensive understanding of general healthcare. This foundation helps students develop essential knowledge about health and wellbeing across different populations. In the second semester, students are introduced to public and environmental health, where they explore key issues that affect the health of individuals and communities. This early exposure allows students to understand the social, environmental, and policy factors that influence public health outcomes. During the second and third years, students deepen their practical skills and expand their understanding of the core values and approaches central to public and environmental health. They study the philosophies that support this field and learn how to apply these principles to improve health outcomes for diverse populations. Students also gain experience in analyzing health strategies and actively contributing to public and environmental health initiatives, which prepares them to address real-world challenges. Communication skills are emphasized, with students learning how to use various media and platforms to effectively share new health initiatives and reach different sectors of society. This ensures that health messages are accessible, inclusive, and impactful. In the final year, the curriculum focuses on preparing students for the transition from study to professional practice in the wider health sector. This includes developing leadership abilities, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills necessary for working in a variety of roles within public and environmental health. Overall, the program offers a comprehensive education that combines theory, practical experience, and communication training, equipping graduates to make meaningful contributions to health promotion and disease prevention at community, national, and global levels.
