College of Public Health (Karachi Campus)

Ziauddin College of Public Health is dedicated to advancing public health and shaping the future of population well-being. We equip students with the knowledge, skills, and passion to tackle global health challenges through education, research, and community engagement.

As health concerns grow worldwide, the demand for skilled public health professionals has never been greater. Our multidisciplinary approach integrates epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy, environmental health, and health promotion, preparing students to address complex health issues from multiple perspectives.

Our renowned faculty—including scholars, practitioners, and researchers—provide mentorship and guidance, enabling students to engage in cutting-edge research, community projects, and global collaborations. We foster an inclusive learning environment that values diversity and cultural competence, equipping graduates to address health disparities effectively.

To bridge theory and practice, we have established strong partnerships with public health agencies, non-profits, healthcare systems, and governmental bodies, offering students hands-on experience through internships and fieldwork.

With a commitment to excellence, innovation, and social responsibility, Ziauddin College of Public Health aspires to be a global leader in public health education, producing graduates with the critical thinking, leadership, and problem-solving skills to drive meaningful change in their communities.

Principal Message

Ziauddin College of Dentistry has a goal to not only provide a first-class education to our students but to also improve the overall health and well-being of our community. However, with the rapid developments in Dental Technology, Dental Curriculum, and its teaching strategies there is a constant need for up gradation to meet the emerging challenges.

At ZDC, we strive to ensure a seamless transition from the pre-clinical years to real-life patient care. One of the tools we have incorporated in our curriculum is the use of virtual dental simulators for the first time ever in Pakistan.

These virtual simulators provide an interactive and immersive learning experience for our students, allowing them to practice internationally accredited exercises of various dental procedures in a realistic virtual environment.

We have an excellent blend of foreign and locally trained postgraduate faculty. Also, the Postgraduate programmes offered at ZCD are in great demand across the country and fully recognized by Higher Education Commission (HEC) & Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).

Moreover, we have a vibrant community of alumni spread across the country and abroad.

I hope the years you spend at ZCD will be productive and memorable.
