Sincerely, I do not have a related experience to the course except that I did studied History and Diplomatic Studies as my undergraduate degree and also did practice as the strategic manager of a firm for less than three months now. Thanks

    Good day, I’ll like to commend you for this post, its really helpful.

    However, I noticed you stated that MPH (that is the one for those with first degree in MBBS/MDS) runs for 12months, while you stated there that the other (MSc. Public Health runs for 24Months)

    I’m a bit confused. If that be so, does that mean there’s no part-time For the MSC? Or the part-time will then exceed 24months or was it just typographical error.

      Full time is 12 months and part time is 24 months
