Dr Abdul-Majeed Musah

Dr Abdul-Majeed Musah – President, Postgraduate Students’ Union, University of Limerick

Abdul is a medical doctor and public health professional. He holds a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from Hainan Medical University (2019) and recently graduated with a Master of Public Health (MPH) from the University of Limerick (2026).

Prior to his master’s degree, Abdul completed his clinical internship and work at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University, China.

His clinical training and early medical experience were followed by a shift toward public health, where his interests lie in health policy, health economics, and global health leadership. Abdul is focused on building a career at the intersection of public health policy, healthcare systems, and international development, with aspirations toward roles in government and United Nations agencies.

Abdul is an active leader in academic governance, having served as Vice President Academic of the Postgraduate Students' Union, and now President. He has organised academic events including a hackathon, a PhD and master’s students’ coffee connect series, and an academia-to-industry event for postgraduates transitioning into the job market. He has also contributed to student leadership through constitutional reforms, paving the way for the Postgraduate Class Reps’ forum with certificates of recognition to formalise student representation. Last September, he advocated to the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science for the construction of student accommodation at Groody, which commenced in June, and the introduction of a standardised minimum “liveable” PhD stipend regardless of funding source. 

As president, Abdul’s priorities will focus on student welfare such as the creation of a food bank on campus, affordable graduation robes, academia-to-industry events and building a stronger relationship with the undergraduate union.

Abdul has also been appointed to serve as the alumni representative for the MPH faculty board for the 2025–2027 term, reflecting his ongoing commitment to academic engagement beyond graduation. He volunteers with the Irish Red Cross and remains active in both academic and community spheres.
