ACU Summer School 2019

Public Health: from a small island state to the global community

University of Mauritius, 14-22 July 2019

“I have before never been out of Pakistan and it was my first experience in the piece of heaven (Mauritius). ACU has provided me an opportunity to interact with 15 different cultures and to understand global public health issues. It was life changing.”
Arif – PhD Management Sciences – COMSATS University, Pakistan

The 2019 Summer School provided students with a week of expert lectures by local and international speakers, social events, engaging and challenging group project work, and field trips to key locations related to public health. Developed by senior University of Mauritius subject specialists, the programme was designed to broaden students’ knowledge, develop skills, provide opportunities for networking and much more.

Moreover, they had the chance to immerse themselves in Mauritian culture, including full-day excursions to heritage sites and beauty spots, and the opportunity to attend the opening ceremony of the 2019 Indian Ocean Island Games.

Students often tell us they find participating in the Summer School to be a life-changing experience. It's a small and friendly event capped at 45 participants, ensuring each participant can be actively involved during the programme.
