Studying at KIT
What alumni say about us
“
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.”

“
There is no doubt that my KIT MPH experience marked a milestone in my professional development and life post-MPH. Since my graduation, I have worked for major donor funded disease control programs in Nigeria where we have used scarce resources to push back the spread of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. I feel so honoured to be among those making this difference in the public health landscape of my country, Nigeria. I presently work with KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation, a Dutch NGO, which I feel deepens my ties and affiliation to the Netherlands! My time at KIT certainly gave me the knowledge, skills and confidence to do the work I do now.”
