Please i need sound advice on choosing between MSc. Physiotherapy and MPH. Your counsel with reasons will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Do you want to go into academics or you want to be in other organisations rather than the four corners of school.
The above question will go along way into answering your question. For example, you don't need an MSc to get a job in the hospital as a physiotherapist but on the other way round, an MSc in public health would give you an upper edge when your target is working with humanitarian organisations (NGOs). While for lecturing, with your MSc in physio, you are good to go.
Further more, MPH is a professional master degree and can't be used for a PhD while MSc is an academic degree and can be used to pursue a PhD.

I hope this helps

wrong
MPH can proceed to do PhD in Nigeria only that it will be specific to a department in Public health eg PhD in Environmental Health Science, PhD in Epidemiology, PhD in Health policy and Education etc
There is also Doctor of Public Health degree though not sure any school in Nigeria currently offer such except maybe few private universities that offer public health as an undergraduate course

Thank you all for your replies. I am not the directly the one gunning for this but my girl friend. She is hanging unto the physiotherapy but i feel that MPH will better position her because physiotherapists may have limited opportunities especially here in Nigeria as compared to those who study public health. Also, she doesn't want to go into academics.
