Of course, you are qualified to apply.
For UI, there are many departments you can apply for; however, I'll suggest MPH in Health Promotion and Education based on your first degree.
The form will be out in a few weeks or months, so you can obtain yours then.

It won't count against you for most departments. Many of the current students didn't have experience and they were admitted.

Hi sard, I want to apply for MPH in UI this time..but i need a little clarification..do you mind droping ur number or mail so i can contact u plss.

I'll reply your NL mail now.

Please, I just finished a degree in Microbiology from OAU. Fortunately or Unfortunately, with a 2.2. I am yet to go for NYSC(which would probably be the next batch). I intend going for a masters in public health (in UI, if chance is given) and this page is very helpful. Please I would like to know what chances I have, plus I read about 2 years of experience. Please where do I get that from? Please enlighten me, I know next to nothing and I am hungry for knowledge.

..

Please to those of u already enrolled, maybe u can update us with signals as to when the forms will be out for new intakes

@Etinosajay, hey bruv your thread has been of tremendous help. but i'm curious, sìnce that Christmas afternoon in 2014 till this moment how has your public health career worked out for you? ì dont mean to pry but i'd really like to hear your story. i'm targeting a career change soon and i'm aching to hear a real life perspective. Thanks.

P.S. if anyone would like to share their story it would be very helpful.

Honestly I must commend @etinosajay for initaiting dis thread nd all other contributors for d wonderful work nd commitments y'all have done well to keeping this thread alive..

I must confess it has really being a head up for me, though I stumbled on it late (yestaday) but I have read thru nd learnt a lot.

Thanks y'all

If I had seen this earlier, I would have been more circumspect in appling for MSc in environmental nd public health in uniben, thought its same with MPH.

.

Etinosajay:


Yes, it would. Certificate programs are good options for starting your professional career in public health.

After getting your certificates in the areas you have mentioned, apply for volunteer to some NGO's for experience, even though you can also get paid jobs. The choice is yours.

With 2-3 years experience in public health, you can then apply for MPH being qualified by experience.

please bro,can u help with some of the free site u get these certified certificates? Thanks

If you truly dread maths and statistics, you may have to look elsewhere because as a student of epid and biostats, you can't do without those courses. As a matter of fact, all MPH students at the U.I do biostats in the first semester, so you may have reconsider your options.

For those interested in U.I PGD for the next academic session, application form is out.

Please I finished from uniBen with a CGPA of 2.72 in human anatomy .. I want to get a degree in Mph in UI .. please is it possible?

I doubt it because most departments only want graduates with 2.1 or 2.2 with a cgpa of at least 3.0. However, you may contact the UI PGD school to get more details.
