Public Health Concentration

Biostatistics and Demography

The Biostatistics and Population Concentration at the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Jember (FKM UNEJ) is designed to equip students with expertise in health data analysis and an in-depth understanding of population dynamics. This concentration focuses on the application of statistical methods in health research, epidemiological analysis, and the management and interpretation of health data. Students will learn statistical techniques used to evaluate health programs, analyze disease trends, and identify public health risk factors. With these skills, they will be able to generate accurate and relevant information to support evidence-based decision-making in the health sector.

In addition, this concentration encompasses the study of demography and population dynamics, including the analysis of population structure, population growth, migration, and population distribution. Students will understand how demographic factors impact public health and how population data can be used to plan and evaluate health policies and programs. By combining statistical and demographic knowledge, graduates of the Biostatistics and Population concentration are expected to make significant contributions to health research, public health program planning, and the development of effective health policies.
