EMPHNET Announces Scholarship Opportunities for 2 Master’s Degree Programmes in Public Health

Overview

The Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Network provides financial support for postgraduate studies in public health. The initiative aims to strengthen public health capacity, improve healthcare systems, and develop a skilled workforce in countries with limited resources. Eligible individuals can pursue two specialised master's programmes jointly offered by the International Academy of Public Health and RAK Medical and Health Sciences University.

Who can apply

The opportunity is open to applicants from eligible low-income and lower-middle-income countries who want to enrol in a master's programme. Candidates can submit their scholarship applications before or after securing academic admission, and individuals already enrolled in either programme are also permitted to apply. Scholarship evaluations are conducted independently of academic admissions, meaning that scholarship consideration does not guarantee admission to the selected course of study.

What you get

Successful recipients receive financial assistance covering 30% of their tuition fees. This partial support helps decrease the financial barriers associated with advanced education, allowing qualified professionals to access specialised training in public health and applied epidemiology.

Requirements

Applicants must submit the official scholarship application form along with specific supporting materials. Required documents include proof of the highest completed academic qualification and a letter of interest detailing the candidate's motivation for pursuing the chosen master's programme. Candidates must also provide any additional supporting documentation requested during the application process.
