Master of Public Health (Executive) for Working Professionals

Work in a district health office rarely stays the same for long. One month it’s an outbreak, the next it’s a new reporting portal or a change in scheme guidelines. Plenty of people in these roles want proper training in epidemiology, policy and management. Very few can step away from their jobs for two years to get it. That’s the gap the executive master of public health at IIHMR University sets out to fill.

That’s the gap the executive master of public health at IIHMR University sets out to fill.

Distance Learning MPH or Campus Residencies? How the Format Works

  • Two years, split into four semesters, with 81 credits.
  • Once every semester, you visit the IIHMR University campus in Jaipur for a residency.
  • Residency days: 9 days (Semester 1), 8 days (Semester 2), 9 days (Semester 3), 8 days (Semester 4), and 6 days for the dissertation.
  • Weekends are part of these 40 days, which cuts down the leave you need.
  • Not fully online: If you are looking for a distance learning MPH, note that campus attendance is required for each residency
  • Between residencies, you stay in your job.

Executive MPH Curriculum, Semester by Semester

  • Semester 1 lays the groundwork: Health Systems and Policy, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Principles of Management and Digital Health.
  • Semester 2: Demography, Health Economics and Financing, Financial Management, Implementation Science.
  • Semester 3 turns to programmes and research. Courses here are Monitoring and Evaluation of Public Health Programs, Strategic Management, Quality and Accreditation, Research Methods and Dissertation Writing.
  • Semester 4: Data Management and Analysis, Human Resource Management, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Public Health Emergency Management.
  • That makes 18 courses. A good share are management subjects, which matters if your role involves budgets, staff, or procurement as much as data. The executive MPH at IIHMR University teaches both.

The Dissertation

The dissertation carries 30 credits. Participants use what they have learned across the programme to study a public health problem. Because the cohort is made up of working professionals, this is a chance to look closely at a question connected to the kind of work you already do.

Who You Will Learn With

  • Experienced peers: Admission requires at least three years of experience in public health, hospitals, healthcare, CSR, ESG, or a related field.
  • Alumni from the first three cohorts include:
  • A District Epidemiologist with NHM Madhya Pradesh
  • Joint Secretaries at the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
  • Consultants with the World Bank
  • Scientists at ICMR and AIIMS New Delhi
  • A Programme Director at Piramal Swasthya
  • Faculty: Faculty and researchers at IIHMR University come from varied backgrounds, which adds range to discussions during residencies.
  • Comparing executive masters in public health? Weigh the residency structure, the mix of public health and management courses, and a peer group of experienced practitioners.

Before You Apply for the Executive Masters in Public Health

Plan a few practical things early. Speak to your employer about the residency periods, which add up to about 40 days spread across two years. Budget for travel to Jaipur and for your stay and meals during each residency, as participants cover these costs themselves. Finally, think about the public health problem you might want to study for your dissertation. Arriving with a question in mind makes the third and fourth semesters easier to plan.

FAQs

1. Who is eligible for the executive MPH at IIHMR University?

Graduates of any discipline with 50% aggregate marks or equivalent CGPA can apply. For SC/ST/OBC-NC/EWS/PwD candidates, the cut-off is 45%. If you hold a postgraduate degree with 50% or more, the graduation percentage doesn’t apply to you. Three years of relevant work experience is required in every case.

2. Can I study this as a distance learning MPH from my home city?

Only in part. You’ll keep working from wherever you’re based, but each residency has to be attended in person in Jaipur. The programme isn’t run fully online.

3. Is there an application fee?

Yes, Rs. 1,000 for national applicants. It isn’t refunded.

4. How does the selection process work?

Apply online first. Shortlisted applicants are called for a personal interview, which is held online. The final decision looks at your academic record, work experience, how the interview went, and how clear you are about your goals. If you’re selected, you’ll get an admission offer.

5. How many courses and credits does the executive master of public health include?

18 courses over four semesters, and then the dissertation. Total credits: 81. The dissertation alone is worth 30.
