The Faculty of Public Health (FPH) at Al-Quds University was established in 1997, the first school in this field in the Palestinian universities. The FPH has two branches, one in the main campus in Jerusalem and the other branch in Gaza City. The Faculty is a member of the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) sine in 2013.

Our mission is realized by training qualified public health professionals, doing health research, as well as contributing to the development of efficient and quality health care system.

The FPH offers four postgraduate programs with different tracks. It offers a master's program in public health with the epidemiology, environmental health, health management, and family and population health tracks. In addition to a master's program in community mental health with the trauma track and psychotherapy track, as well as a master's program in health policies and management. And recently, a master's program has been launched in prevention and disease control. Moreover, admission to the doctoral program in public health, the first of its kind in Palestine, for the academic year 2021-2022, has begun.

Our faculty is also concerned with study plans, scientific research in the field of public health, training courses, educational events and health awareness provided by the faculty to serve the community.
