The School of Public Health aims to train professionals who will be able to improve public health and engage in research on the subject. The field of public health deals with improving and promoting health at both local and global levels, such as lowering incidence and mortality rates because of cancer, heart disease, stroke, depression, malnutrition, malaria, AIDS, influenza epidemics, and covid-19. The methods used for public health include prevention, early detection, policy, environmental change, behavioral change, communication, and more.

The school adopted an interdisciplinary approach based on the social sciences to better understand health-related issues and the prevention of illness behaviors. It also trains the next generation of public health professionals in the fields of community health, health promotion, healthcare service management, environmental and occupational health, epidemiology, and nutritional behavior.

The academic program is structured towards preparing students for positions in the healthcare system, the medical industry, research and academic institutions, international organizations, and NGOs.
