Master of Public Health Management (MPH)

James Lind Institute · Switzerland
About this program

A globally recognised qualification that opens doors across the full spectrum of public health and healthcare careers. This comprehensive online MPH (18 months, 90 ECTS) from JLI Switzerland covers epidemiology, health systems, biostatistics, health policy, and management — building broad competency across the field. Graduates pursue leadership roles in global health agencies, governments, NGOs, hospitals, and international organisations.

The programme covers all the essential domains of public health — community medicine, health planning, environmental health, nutrition, infectious diseases, mental health, and health economics — alongside a strong foundation in quantitative and analytical skills. Students develop management competencies including health systems leadership, resource management, strategic planning, and stakeholder communication, preparing them not just as technical public health professionals but as effective programme managers and leaders. Upon completion of the first phase (42 ECTS), students are awarded an interim Advanced Diploma in Public Health Management, providing a professional credential early in the programme. Graduates also have the option of pursuing a dual MBA in Healthcare Leadership through Rushford Business School, Switzerland, via credit transfer.
