Program overview
A two year post degree route into public health for applicants who already hold a bachelor’s degree, covering epidemiology, health promotion, health policy and research methods at degree level.
The structure suits a specific and common profile: a graduate in an unrelated field who wants to move into the health sector with a Canadian credential rather than starting a full undergraduate degree again. It is also a degree level award, which matters for work permit purposes.
No CIP code check applies to Post Degree Bachelor of Health Sciences in Public Health, because the field of study requirement covers non degree credentials rather than degrees.
