Studying at KIT

What alumni say about us

“Studying at KIT has been one of the best things in my life. KIT offers not only academic knowledge, it adequately prepares you for success in life, from knowledge to a professional attitude in any environment. Had it not been for the skills I gained at KIT, I wouldn’t have been able to work in remote and rural areas on supplementary immunisation activities and surveillance, and to maximise limited resources to achieve the goal of controlling the transmission of preventable diseases.

Networking with colleagues in different parts of the world is an added advantage to gaining skills. The continuous connection with professional colleagues and the encouragement of professors and study colleagues during difficult study times create a family environment. KIT has upgraded my personal and professional life!”

“As a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer from the US, I was looking for an MPH programme that allowed me to learn from the experts in the field: those who actually originate and work in the local contexts most in need of development help.

KIT was the perfect fit for me. While the KIT professors are experts in the various domains of public health, to me, the true beacons of knowledge in the MPH/ICHD programme were my fellow students. I learned so much from them; how their countries worked, rural versus urban challenges, corrupt realities, cultural and social views, and so much more. Not only did I get to constantly learn about my colleagues’ experiences, realities, and what shaped their views, I also got to learn a lot about their culture by simply working with them in groups. Thanks to this programme I’ve learned countless skills that contribute to my current job on a daily basis.”
