You study how diseases spread and how to prevent them, how to encourage healthy lifestyles, and how nutrition affects health. You build skills in health education, communication, research, and programme planning, so you can design and run initiatives that help communities stay healthy. Most graduates work in health promotion, disease control, or nutrition roles in the public, NGO, and private sectors.
