Program Description

Gain the skills, knowledge and leadership capabilities to thrive within public health environments. Our Masters degree will enable you to make a positive contribution to public health service provision and research environments. From epidemiological research to communities of health, healthcare financing to service commissioning, this course covers the key concepts. In the UK, the increasing demand for health care alongside the reduction in funding for healthcare systems means there is an increased need for a trained, effective workforce of public health professionals. The field of public health is ever-expanding, particularly in the context of a growing aging population, thus the market requires increased numbers of public health professionals.

A wide range of teaching and learning methods are employed throughout the course drawing on the diverse experience of the teaching team. Student participation is encouraged. You’ll learn in an interprofessional environment which encourages flexibility and collaborative approaches.

Admission Requirements

• A UK Honours Degree or equivalent
• Candidates should normally have a good first degree or equivalent and be working, or hope to work, within any area of the public health arena.
