Bachelor of Science in Public Health
About This Programme
This programme prepares students to prevent disease and promote health at the community level. At The Unity University, students study epidemiology, health education, and disease prevention strategies, learning to think about health from a whole-population perspective.
Students learn how diseases spread, how outbreaks are controlled, and how health education campaigns can change behaviour for the better. The programme includes practical exercises in analysing health data and designing community interventions. Graduates work to improve health outcomes for whole communities, not just individual patients, making them valuable in both government and NGO health programmes.
