Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) is a four-year degree about the health of communities rather than the treatment of individual patients: disease prevention, health promotion, nutrition, sanitation and health service management.

Field work is a major part of the course, with community diagnosis and placements in health posts, municipalities and health projects.

Graduates work with government health offices, INGOs and NGOs, hospitals and research organisations, and many continue to MPH.
