BASc(GHD) Graduates Spotlighted for Global Impact
Driving Change Beyond Borders

BASc(GHD) combines expertise from multiple faculties including Architecture, Business and Economics, Law, Science, and Social Sciences, to equip students with skills to address global health and development challenges. This year, the programme remains highly competitive, with 82 applicants ranking it among their top three JUPAS choices for only 18 available places, making it 3.5 times oversubscribed.

Our graduates are making significant impacts worldwide. Recent graduate Christine Wong contributed to UNICEF New York’s monkeypox response during her internship and will soon lead public health initiatives across Africa and Latin America in her new position. Another graduate, Holly Yuen, addressed medical waste and wastewater management issues during her UNDP Indonesia internship, crediting the programme’s balance of theory and practical experience for her preparedness.
