Course Summary

Research profile

Public Health and Health Promotion is a dynamic and cutting edge area of study. Our academics are research active and internationally renowned in their own specialist fields of public health, health promotion, health and social care and the social context of health and wellbeing. We explore the ethical, political, societal and cultural dilemmas that arise in public health and health promotion and into health and social care.

Applicants are welcome to contact us about their own specialist topics and projects. We particularly welcome proposals on :

  • Creative methods for researching health and everyday life
  • Loneliness and well-being across the life-span
  • Cost-effectiveness or return on investment (ROI) analysis of healthcare interventions
  • Econometric analysis to examine the impact of health policies/strategies/interventions
  • Physical activity and its association with health outcomes
  • Health inequalities and social determinants of health
  • Behaviour change interventions to improve population health and well-being

Careers and your future

You will receive tailored careers support during your PhD and for up to three years after you complete your research at Brunel. We encourage you to actively engage in career planning and managing your personal development right from the start of your research, even (or perhaps especially) if you don't yet have a career path in mind. Our careers provision includes online information and advice, one-to-one consultations and a range of events and workshops. The Professional Development Centre runs a varied programme of careers events throughout the academic year. These include industry insight sessions, recruitment fairs, employer pop-ups and skills workshops.

In addition, where available, you may be able to undertake some paid work as we recognise that teaching and learning support duties represent an important professional and career development opportunity.
