Study public health abroad
85.7% of our public health graduates surveyed were working in public health within 6 months (12 of 14). A Master of Public Health (MPH) suits health graduates and people already working in NGOs, government or health programmes. Many go to the UK or Australia; scholarships such as Australia Awards and Chevening favour this field.

Registration and language
Public health roles don't need clinical registration. Clinical work abroad does: if you want to nurse, choose nursing instead.
Many public health careers are in Nepal and with international organisations, which suits scholarships that ask you to return.
After study
Many public health careers are in Nepal and with international organisations, not in hospitals abroad. That makes it a strong choice for scholarships that require you to return.
