Yes, it is possible for students with a background in Bachelor of Ayurveda Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) to pursue a Master's in Public Health (MPH) abroad, including in Canada. However, eligibility criteria may vary among universities, so it's important to research specific requirements for the institutions and programs you are interested in.

Here are some general steps you can take:

  1. Research Programs: Look for MPH programs in Canada that align with your interests and career goals. Check the admission requirements and prerequisites for each program.
  2. Educational Equivalency: Some universities may require you to provide evidence of educational equivalency. This could involve having your BAMS degree evaluated to determine its equivalence to Canadian educational standards. Organizations like the World Education Services (WES) often provide credential evaluation services.
  3. Language Proficiency: Most Canadian universities will require proof of English proficiency through exams like IELTS or TOEFL. Ensure that you meet the language requirements for your chosen program.
  4. Relevant Experience: Some MPH programs may prefer or require relevant work experience in public health or a related field. Check the admission criteria to see if you need to gain experience before applying.
  5. Entrance Exams: Check if the program you are interested in requires standardized tests such as the GRE. Prepare for and take these exams if necessary.
  6. Application Process: Follow the application procedures of the universities you're applying to. This usually involves submitting transcripts, letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and other relevant documents.
  7. Visa Requirements: Once admitted, you will need to fulfill visa requirements. Ensure that you have all necessary documentation and meet the immigration requirements for studying in Canada.


It's advisable to contact the admissions offices of the specific universities you are interested in to get accurate and up-to-date information. Additionally, consulting with an educational advisor or reaching out to the public health department of the universities can provide valuable guidance personalised to your situation.
