The Hebrew University-Hadassah Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine is proud of its overseas students who since 1970 have made the International Master of Public Health (IMPH) Program a most rewarding and successful venture. More than 900 students from 102 countries across the globe have participated in this unique experience.

Most of our students come from low-income countries/regions, including those countries considered by the OECD as 'emerging' or 'transition economies'. The program also welcomes students from middle-high income countries and regions. Our alumni include graduates from Western Europe, the USA, and Canada.

The IMPH student body comprises physicians, nurses, other health professionals, economists, social scientists, and those interested in public health from other disciplines. Our students' wide range of cultural backgrounds and work experiences coupled with our demanding curriculum creates an environment that is at once scientifically challenging and culturally stimulating.

Many of our graduates return home at the completion of their training to occupy leadership positions in the health care systems of their communities and countries. Personal contacts with our alumni and news of their impressive contributions to the health of their countries and beyond is a continuing source of pride and pleasure.

Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation (MASHAV) has been a vital element in the development and continuation of this unique program since its establishment.

A limited number of scholarships are awarded annually by MASHAV and other donors for selected candidates from lower-income regions, countries in transition, and small-island-countries.

Israel is known to be a welcoming society and along with providing you with public health knowledge and skills, we will be happy to show you many of the treasures of Israel and its capital city, Jerusalem.

Surrounded by terraced slopes and pine-forested hills west of central Jerusalem, our campus lies next to the quiet, picturesque village of Ein Kerem. Students can wander along flower-lined paths, interspersed with vines and olive trees, and watch artists at work. Quaint shops, restaurants, and galleries dot the landscape. On campus, one of the first sights to greet newcomers is the magnificent set of stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall.

Join us and become part of our world-wide family devoted to the advancement of public health practices, research, and teaching.

The Unique Advantages of the Braun School’s IMPH Program in Israel

  • The program promotes excellence in international public health research and practice in a broad range of topics.
  • The School has nearly 50 years' experience of teaching public health in Israel and in many other countries.
  • The School and its programs have been accredited by the Agency for Public Health Education Accreditation (APHEA)
  • In recognition of our ongoing public health training efforts in Israel and abroad, the World Health Organization designated the School (2007-2014) as a Collaborating Centre for Capacity Building in Public Health.
  • The IMPH Program provides tools for examining public health problems in low and higher-income countries and formulating relevant intervention strategies at the community and national level.
  • The emphasis throughout is on active learning by the student, individually and in groups
  • Israel is both a developed (academically, technologically) and a still-developing young country. We have experienced and struggled with health issues in both these roles.
  • Together with rigorous academic requirements, the program is tailored to the student’s needs and interests.
  • Our teachers are deeply involved, caring, and have open communication with their students.
  • Small group tutorial classes are provided for students requiring additional assistance in some core courses.
  • The IMPH Program offers a wide range of social and cultural activities that serve to bond and integrate the students and introduce them to the historical and modern host country of Israel.

What we will try to provide you with:

  • The fundamental principles of public health and community medicine through our curriculum in epidemiology, research methods, statistics, health administration, and other core and elective courses. Courses are taught by faculty members with vast international experience, bringing a high level of expertise to the training program.
  • Practical experience in the application of these principles in the COPC workshop
  • Practical experience in planning and carrying out a research project
  • A rewarding and stimulating experience of studying in a foreign country and of meeting and working with people from different professional and cultural backgrounds and joining a global network of hundreds of public health professionals who have graduated from the program

What we expect from you, or more accurately, what you should expect from yourself:

  • A realistic assessment of your knowledge of English so that you are not handicapped by an inability to read the material, write papers, or participate fully and freely in class. We do not offer an English language course. Without a very strong command of English, you will not fully benefit from the course and you might be unable to successfully complete the requirements of the course.
  • A clear understanding of why you want the degree and how you plan to use it, and a firm intention to continue to work in the field of public health in your own country.
