About NURSPH

The National University of Rwanda School of Public Health (NURSPH) opened in 2001 in order to better align graduate profiles with the health needs of Rwanda.  NURSPH replaced the former School of Public Health and Nutrition (ESPN).

Presently, the School of Public Health offers two degree course programs: the Master of Public Health (MPH) and the Master of Science in Epidemiology. It also offers four modular certificate training programs in (1) Epidemiology, Bio-statistics and Computing applied to health science;  (2) Research Methodology applied to HIV/AIDS (Strategic Information in support of improved HIV/AIDS programming), (3) Management of Health Services and (4) The Fellowship Program.

Furthermore, the highly experienced and knowledgeable faculty, staff and graduate student body have demonstrated an established capacity to carry out Public Health research and consultancy work on both the national and international levels.
