We provide a shared learning environment where those already working in the public health sector can bring prior knowledge and experience to share with their peers, some who will be sharing similar work experiences and others who will be at the beginning of their public health career. What makes us different is that you will be learning and developing your research skills based in a world class research centre.

Assessment

How learning is monitored on your programme

To cater for the wide-ranging content of our courses and the varied learning preferences of our students, we offer a range of assessment methods on each programme. Assessment techniques vary from module to module to reflect relevant assessment approaches and the key learning points of each topic.

On this course there are a few written exams but essays and reports together with poster presentations and, of course, the dissertation form the assessment focus.

Standard entry Applicants are normally required to possess a good honours degree (normally a minimum grade 2.2) in any related health or social science discipline.
