The 18th cohort with 32 national and international students from 10 countries around the world is currently completing their MPH programme. To facilitate learning in the post COVID-19 era, in May the School launched a blended teaching and learning platform by adopting advanced technological infrastructure for the MPH programme. The main goal is to strengthen both offline and online communication between faculty and students. To make the classroom more interactive and engaging, the School ensured strong video communication between faculty, students and the course teaching team through cutting-edge video and audio recording and broadcasting system.
