Ph.D. in Veterinary Public Health and Epidemiology focuses on the study of disease patterns among animal populations and their influence on human health, with a particular emphasis on zoonotic disease prevention, control and management. The program, which typically lasts 3-5 years, integrates instruction in epidemiology, biostatistics, veterinary medicine, and public health with hands-on research. Students study disease surveillance, risk assessment, zoonosis, food safety, and the relationship between animal health and human well-being. Graduates have the opportunity to work in public health agencies, research institutions, governments, and international organizations, helping to design policies and strategies that protect public health through better veterinarian practices.
