Course Overview

About Post Graduate Diploma in Public Health Course

Built around Public Health, Post Graduate Diploma in Public Health is a 1-year on-campus programme covering human health, wellness practice and the science behind clinical support work in 2 planned semesters.

Teaching combines classroom sessions with supervised practical sessions, anatomy and physiology labs and wellness or therapy practice, so what you learn in theory is immediately practised. You finish with Post Graduate Diploma in Public Health and a record of work you can show to an employer or a university.

The value of Post Graduate Diploma in Public Health

  • A single clear subject focus: Public Health, studied properly for 1 year rather than spread thin.
  • Practical work every semester — supervised practical sessions, anatomy and physiology labs and wellness or therapy practice — so you can show what you can do, not only what you studied.
  • Subject choices that stay relevant: Public Health: Practical Lab / Workshop, Industry Internship and Digital Tools.
  • A degree from a UGC-recognised state private university, valid for employment and for further study.
  • Small campus, direct access to faculty, and daily classroom support at Namchi, Sikkim.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain body systems and their function clearly in the context of Public Health.
  • Follow clinical and hygiene protocol correctly in the context of Public Health.
  • Record and present case information in the context of Public Health.
  • Guide clients through a structured wellness routine in the context of Public Health.
  • Complete a Public Health project or internship and present it to faculty.
Career preparation

Resume writing, communication and interview practice are part of the programme, aimed at the roles Post Graduate Diploma in Public Health graduates actually apply for.

Namchi campus

Classes for Public Health run on the Namchi campus at Assangthang, with classrooms, library and laboratory facilities on site.

Faculty access

Batch sizes stay small enough that Public Health faculty know each student, review project work individually and are reachable outside class hours.

Practice-led teaching

supervised practical sessions, anatomy and physiology labs and wellness or therapy practice are scheduled into the timetable, not added on. Assessment runs continuously through the semester.
