Course Summary

Why choose this course?

Public health is about creating a healthy and happy society, tackling the underlying causes of ill health to prevent health problems and promoting health and wellbeing. Our MPH Public Health Master’s degree is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required for effective public health practice.

Our innovative curriculum gives students an in-depth understanding of the principles, theories, and practices in public health. This course provides an opportunity to develop a critical appreciation of approaches to population health, and students will gain a thorough understanding of qualitative and quantitative research methods used in public health research, and how to apply them in real-world settings.

A Master’s in public health helps set graduates up to help create a healthy and happy society by tackling the underlying causes of ill health. By understanding and identifying key drivers of public health, graduates can help make a difference to society in roles that help prevent health problems, and promote health and wellbeing.

Government attention is increasingly focused on improving population health, and many agencies now have public health responsibilities. This increased demand is opening up new opportunities for innovative approaches and also brings with it the need for a well-prepared public health workforce, able to work flexibly across many disciplines and demonstrate a wide range of abilities. Our Master of Public Health course is specifically designed to fulfil this need through the educational aim of developing the specific knowledge and skills you will need for effective public health practice.
