A student view
› “Giselle has an ardent passion for the MIPH program and her
students. ... She invests much time and energy not only in
lectures, but also in tutorials, forcing students to think,
analyze, critique and problem-solve. Her classes are
interesting, engaging, thought provoking and relevant. She
has always believed the MIPH to be more than an ordinary
Master’s degree - a channel to train and build up
knowledgeable, capable and committed public health workers
who can go out to developing countries well equipped to
make a difference.”
› Testimonial Joanne Jacob, International Student MIPH Graduate 2013 and
MIPH Hoc Mai Scholar

› “Thank you for organising the integrative tutorial for us. I got
very positive feedback from all MIPH and GDIHP students. All
students told me that they wanted more collaboration; felt they
learnt from each other's experiences. Thanks again for such
an enriching experience.”

› “Such a wonderful experience for me and I know this
sentiment is shared by many of the students in my tutorial
