Overview

Our successful and innovative MPH in Public Health welcomes UK, EU and international applicants from a wide range of professions.  It is ideal if you are seeking to broaden your knowledge and skill set, or are preparing for advancement in your field or career.

The course focuses on the health of communities as a recognised concern to a wide group of professionals. We will show how good health can be a right, not a privilege. And you will discover how health is related to:

  • individual biology
  • genetics
  • behavioural factors
  • social factors
  • environmental factors.

This course is suitable for those seeking a career in public health, people from clinical backgrounds and allied health professionals. If you have a non-health-related degree but have relevant work experience, you are welcome and encouraged to apply.

We offer a range of opportunities to gain work experience with local public health organisations.

We also offer a similar course through distance learning.
