The Bachelor of Environmental Health at Nelson Mandela University is a four-year professional degree that trains Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs) — registered health professionals who inspect and regulate environments to protect public health in South Africa. Students study food hygiene, water and sanitation, occupational health, waste management, communicable disease control, and environmental legislation, with supervised fieldwork across municipalities, industries, and health settings. EHPs are employed primarily by South African local governments and are essential to ensuring safe living and working conditions in communities, particularly in underserved urban and rural areas. Admission is subject to departmental selection.
