Dear crazy_doc,
Diploma in public health may be a starter..but for today's era of "survival of the fittest"you will need a master qualification for growing your public health career..... and its good to have a diploma as well as a master...yes the number matters.

Thankyou shuvo for that information. But since MPH is done by students of other fields also isnt 1yr internship considered as work ex??? We even do 3 months of rural service in it.
N what does very high grade mean? its MBBS right... Dont tell me they expect 80 to 90 percent marks!

In my observation at least 65% is necessary to have a realistic chance of clinching scholarship in UK, Aus.For many sponsors 60% is the eligibility to apply...students of other discipline (eg. Biochemistry
, home science etc) have high score as much as 75%..they are in an advantageous position than the MBBS fellows....And as the work experience, I referred to 1/2 years of experience in the relevent discipline ( e.g. NGO, government project, teaching etc)...just 3 months field experince during internship counts but when it comes to comparson with other candidates with greater experience, it will push you back...remember winning a scholarship in development studies in a first world country is very competitive...only top 1-5% of all the applicants shall win.

MPH admissions are a complex process and yes they look for high grades.

Thankyou Shuvo for that information.. Grades wise I qualify for scholarship but I guess I am laging behind when it comes to work ex.. I can work for a few months after my internship but cannot show that since I would have finished applying for course n scholarship:(... Lets see.. Ill give it a shot anyway... I know some people who have gone for MPH in the US on scholarship without ex but I guess its diff when applying for US.
Just one more thing.. While applying for the course is work ex imp.. I mean say if I try without scholarship? I am int in LSHTM. Its written that work ex is prefered but I was wondering if ill be considered anyway?? I have done some field work during my MBBS course also... I mean apart from the curiculum

Firstly you must understand that not all Universities offer scholarship, even if you have the greatest grade.
Cite your experiences on your Resume' along with the relevant certification. If you dont have any experience, write a strong SOP. If you have a great score on GRE
, you can get a scholarship. Also remember, the scholarship deadlines are different from admission deadlines.
Some universities specifically want experience, like Columbia and all. And most of the people who apply for MPH have some experience. Do you have any research experience?
If you have done any field work, do you have any certification for it? if so, you can include that in the Resume'.
Where do you plan to apply?

my academics are more than 75% and I have a research experience of 2 years, but still i didnt get a scholarship. it depends upon the universities

I have done my MBBS in Ukraine, here the rating system is quite different. IN actuallity, in all my final year exams I have score above 85%, thats the rating here. But when it translates to grades in India, I am sure, its quite less than 85%.
