Public Health Vs Microbiology by Luli02(op): 6:27pm On Apr 13, 2025
Hello Everyone,
I'm a National Diploma holder with a 3.13 GP, looking to pursue a degree via Direct Entry. Unfortunately, my GP dropped to 2.94, which is a lower credit. I'm interested in studying either Public Health or Microbiology.

My Questions:
1. Between Public Health and Microbiology, which course is more in-demand locally and internationally?
2. Considering my low GP, which course would be a better fit for me?
3. Are there job opportunities available for both courses, or should I consider other factors?

My Background:
- Current qualification: National Diploma
- GP: 2.94 (lower credit)
- Preferred courses: Public Health or Microbiology

Your Advice Matters:
I'd appreciate any guidance or insights from experienced individuals in these fields. Please help me make an informed decision about my academic and career path.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

BSc Microbiology or medical microbiology then masters degree in public health.

Or BSc pubic health if available on offer. Then masters public health.
