Course Summary

The Master of Public Health (MPH) and the Master of Public Health (MPH) Women’s Health have been designed to offer comprehensive understanding of modern public health practice. Delivered via a combination of face-to-face and online sessions, the MPH addresses the foundational elements of epidemiology, health economics and health policy, infection control, and health improvement. If you choose to undertake the MPH Women’s Health pathway, you will study two pathway specific optional modules alongside the main core modules and complete your MPH dissertation in a women’s health topic. In doing so you will be able to demonstrate competence in applying a public health approach to women’s health, including women’s mental health and preventing violence against women and girls (VAWG).

Modules

This module aims to provide students with an opportunity to undertake a sustained independent investigation of an advanced or specialised topic relevant to the field of Public Health. The dissertation should consist of original work and should be informed by the theoretical and practical knowledge that the student has developed through other modules or work experience. It should focus on a relevant local, national or global theme, topic or problem.
