A two-year, full-time MPH degree with two tracks — General MPH and MPH in Implementation Science. Built for graduates who want to work in public health systems, programmes, policy, research, and implementation.

How is this different from the Johns Hopkins MPH at IIHMR University?

The Johns Hopkins MPH is a separate cooperative programme run on a different timeline and fee structure, with a degree co-awarded by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. This MPH is IIHMR University's own programme — focused on the Indian and South Asian public health context, with a lower fee and a different curriculum design.

Is this one of the better MPH colleges in India?

IIHMR University has been doing public health and health management education since 1984, ranking among the No.1 specialist institutions in India. The combination of a practitioner-led faculty, real fieldwork, an active research output, and an established alumni network in public health makes it the top choice among master's in public health colleges.

Who is the programme for?

Graduates from medicine, dentistry, AYUSH systems, pharmacy, nursing, allied health, biotech, life sciences, social sciences, management, statistics, economics, and demography. Working professionals in health, development, research, or related fields are strongly encouraged to apply.

Start with the pre-screening application — submit the questionnaire and CV through the IIHMR University applications portal. Eligible candidates receive a pre-approval and can then complete the formal application.

What does the practicum involve?

A second-year field placement with a public health organisation. Students work full-time on a defined problem, mentored by IIHMR University faculty and an external supervisor at the host organisation. This is where many students develop the specific career direction they pursue after graduation.

Are scholarships available?

Yes. Merit-based scholarships and category-based concessions are available per the university's published policy. We recommend checking your eligibility before you finalise your decision.

What kind of jobs do graduates take up?

Public health programme management, epidemiology, health policy, monitoring and evaluation, implementation science, health economics, and research — across global agencies, government, NGOs, research institutions, and the private health sector.

Can I pursue a PhD after this MPH degree?

Yes. The MPH meets the eligibility requirement for PhD programmes in public health and related disciplines. IIHMR University's own doctoral programme is one option, and graduates also move into PhDs at other Indian and international universities.
