This programme is located in the School of Public Health and is intended to equip graduates with knowledge, skills and competencies necessary for undertaking a Master of Science in Epidemiology and Biostatistics or a Master of Public Health after gaining some work experience. The Honours in Public Health programme is fairly new and designed with the intention to create a pathway into public health for interested students. Students will be exposed to a number of different areas of public health including epidemiology, biostatistics and research through conceptualizing and operationalising a small study. Other areas students could be exposed to through a number of electives that focus on implementation science, demography, health equity, social and behaviour change among others.
