About

The MSc and PhD Public Health programmes at National University of Singapore are research-intensive programmes that emphasise both the mastery of research skills and the acquisition of core knowledge in a specified area of interest. 

Overview

Features 

  • The Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at National University of Singapore launched its graduate research programmes in August 2012, offering both the Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programmes.

Programme Structure

Curriculum: 

  • From Year 1, both MSc and PhD students will embark on their research projects, complete core courses and choose from a range of elective courses that cater to individual research interests.
  • In Year 2, MSc students will start writing their thesis, while PhD students will complete a PhD Qualifying Examination (PQE) which assesses their ability to complete PhD requirements based on their academic progress and quality of their research. 
  • MSc students who wish to transfer to the PhD programme need to complete the PhD coursework requirements, and pass the PQE within 2 years.
