BSc (Hons) Public Health

University of East London, United Kingdom

Course Overview

As the need for projects to deliver good health globally becomes ever more urgent, the more clearly we see that public health is not just everybody's business - it's a growth business, too. That's why it needs graduates as well-schooled as you will be in these crucial issues. Employment opportunities abound. Our graduates have gone on to work for employers including Public Health England, local authorities, national government and the civil service, the NHS, charities, and social enterprises. They've become public health educators or specialists. They've worked in voluntary organizations in the UK and abroad, advised on policy, or gone on to study epidemiology. Others go into further research. Anything is possible.
