FAQ’s

The school follows an interdisciplinary model combining Public Health, Environment & Sustainability, and Public Policy. This approach helps students understand the broader determinants of population health and develop practical solutions for complex societal challenges.

Modern health challenges are deeply connected to environmental conditions and policy decisions. For example, air pollution affects respiratory diseases, climate change influences vector-borne diseases, and government policies determine access to healthcare, sanitation, and food systems. By integrating public health, environmental science, and public policy, the school trains students to understand how these systems interact and design holistic, evidence-based solutions for population health. This interdisciplinary approach prepares students to tackle real-world problems that cannot be solved by a single discipline alone.

The school offers Undergraduate programmes (BPH, BSc Environment & Sustainability), Postgraduate programmes (MPH, MSc Environment & Sustainability, MPP), an Executive MPH for working professionals, PhD programmes, and short-term certificate courses in emerging areas of public health research and practice.

Yes. Most programmes encourage interdisciplinary applicants from science, social sciences, management, policy, engineering, and other related disciplines. This diversity enriches discussions and problem-solving in public health and sustainability.

The programmes emphasise experiential learning through field visits, internships, case studies, research projects, policy labs, and community engagement activities.

Yes. Students gain hands-on experience through internships, fieldwork, practicums, and research collaborations with NGOs, government agencies, hospitals, and public health organizations.

Yes. The school has global collaborations, including a dual degree programme with the University of Aberdeen (UK) where students can spend a year studying Global Health on their campus.

Graduates work in government agencies, international organizations, NGOs, environmental consultancies, policy think tanks, research institutions, and corporate sustainability divisions depending on their programme specialization.

The curriculum is skill-based and application-oriented, covering tools such as data analysis, epidemiology, GIS, environmental modelling, policy analysis, and programme evaluation, along with real-world case studies and projects.

Students engage in capstone research projects, applied research assignments, and collaborations with faculty and external institutions, enabling them to contribute to real-world public health and sustainability research.

Yes. The school is part of the Network of Schools of Public Health in India (NSPHI) and collaborates with multiple organizations working in public health, policy, and sustainability sectors.

Students interested in public health, sustainability, governance, climate change, health systems, development policy, and community impact will benefit from the interdisciplinary training offered at the school.
