Welcome to the Department of Public Health at Qatar University. If you are passionate about improving the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and populations, you have come to the right place.
Public health is essential to addressing today's complex health challenges, including disease prevention, health promotion, health equity, environmental sustainability, emergency preparedness, and the strengthening of health systems. As Qatar advances its National Vision 2030 and continues to invest in the health of its population, the need for highly qualified public health professionals has never been greater.
The Department of Public Health is proud to contribute to these national priorities by preparing future public health leaders. Our commitment to academic excellence is reflected in our ongoing pursuit of accreditation by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), the internationally recognized accrediting body for schools and programs of public health.
The Department offers a Bachelor of Science in Public Health, with concentrations in Health Education and Health Management, a Master of Public Health (MPH) with concentrations in Epidemiology and Health Promotion, and a Minor in Public Health for students pursuing degrees in other disciplines. Our curricula combine rigorous academic preparation with experiential learning and supervised field training, enabling students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings and develop the competencies required for professional practice.
Located in a dynamic and rapidly evolving environment, the Department of Public Health provides an outstanding learning experience supported by modern facilities and rich educational resources. Our accomplished faculty are actively engaged in nationally and internationally recognized research, offering students opportunities to collaborate on projects that address important public health challenges.
A career in public health is rewarding. It empowers professionals to improve the health and well-being of communities, strengthen health systems, and advance population.
