The Higher Institute of Public Health (ISSP) at the Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) is pleased to announce the opening of applications for the 10th cohort of its Master's program in Public Health.

The program comprises 120 ECTS credits spread over two academic years (four semesters). The first year is a common core curriculum for all students, who can then choose one of three specialty tracks for their second year: (1) Health Policy and Management, (2) Epidemiology and Biostatistics, or (3) Environment and Health. Upon completion of the program, graduates will have mastered the concepts, methods, and challenges of public health and will be able to analyze and assess the needs and expectations of the population.
