Course Summary

The MSc in Public Health equips you to address diverse public health issues in both high and low income environments.

By choosing to study a general public health course or to concentrate on one of four specific streams, you will emerge with the ability to apply the core disciplines of public health to real-world health problems.

Assessment

This varies from module to module but will include a combination of unseen written examinations and written assignments. More details can be found on course pages.

Exams are held in June each year. You can sit exams at an approved centre anywhere in the world (mainly Ministries of Education or the British Council). Each centre charges a fee for hosting exams.
