The Master of Science in Public Health (MPH) is designed to develop the capacity of senior health managers to use an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to address health problems in their country.

The Master of Science in Public Health (MPH) is an annual 12-month Master of Public Health programme organized by KIT and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Participants can also choose to specialize in HIV/AIDS.

Health systems in developing countries face a wide range of challenges: inequalities in health and health care; the overwhelming problems posed by the HIV pandemic; health sector reforms; a call for equity and poverty reduction; epidemiological and demographic transitions with their double burden of disease; new partnerships with donors and other institutions through sector-wide approaches and Global Funds; the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals; and a focus on quality of services and evidence-based public health.

Providing an effective response to these issues requires well-trained professionals able to solve complex public health problems systematically and using a multisectoral approach.
