What our students say...

i

Broad-based Training for Healthcare Professionals

The promotion of public health requires diverse skills and coordination, and therefore the curriculum of a public health programme usually encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including biostatistics, environmental health, social and behavioural science, health services, public health policy, management, finance, law, and engineering.

ii

Professional development

Students will participate in site visits that cover government sectors, private sectors and non-governmental organisations to learn more about professional public health practices. Students on the programme complete 100 hours of field work and a research project based on the chosen field of interest with the guidance of a supervisor. Through this essential experience, students develop analytical and researching skills as well as critical thinking in a particular subject.

Note 1: Please note that admission to the University is on a competitive basis. Apart from public examination results, applicants' other learning experiences, prior education, and interview performance (if any) will also be considered.

For Category C: Other Language subjects, Grade A = 5 / Grade B = 4 / Grade C = 3 / Grade D = 2 / Grade E = 1).

Note 2: In the admission process, some programmes may have additional requirements (such as specifying subject requirements, assigning heavier weighting to specific subjects, etc.) which are NOT reflected in the Total Reference Score above.

Note 3: Please note that as admission is NOT based on public examination results alone, and the overall scores of students admitted to each programme vary from year to year, the information provided is for reference only, and should not be used to predict the chance of admission to any programme in subsequent years.
