Studying at KIT

Learning never stops

The Covid-19 pandemic has made us acutely aware that we are all connected and strong health systems are of utmost importance. We have seen how already stretched healthcare systems in many countries have been facing challenges to deliver basic services. This highlights the need for well-trained public and global health professionals, now, more than ever.

With a multidisciplinary team of researchers, educators and advisors, KIT Royal Tropical Institute has over fifty years’ experience training professionals in global health who have lasting impacts on health delivery in their home countries. Our training programmes respond to current global health developments and are known for their practical application, multidisciplinary approach and interactive design.

Our beautiful building is normally home to a vibrant international community, working, teaching and sharing knowledge about different public and global health issues. However, at the height of the pandemic, we temporarily adapted our courses so that our students could follow them safely from home.

In-class teaching at KIT is following all the necessary measures to ensure everyone’s safety. KIT is closely adhering to the regulations from the Dutch authorities, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the World Health Organisation. Therefore, should the situation not allow for face-to-face classes, we can revert to online teaching.

At KIT, we are more committed than ever to empower a new set of global health leaders on their professional journey. We are equipping them to better face new and existing health challenges and doing everything we can to make sure that learning never stops.
