Course Overview

Public Health is an interdisciplinary area that aims to prevent disease, prolong life and promote health. It addresses broad issues affecting the health and well-being of individuals, families, communities, populations, and societies. This master's level program is aimed at graduates and professionals from various backgrounds. It will develop your knowledge, skills, and capabilities in critical areas such as health surveillance, intervention, leadership, and policy development. The program is endorsed by Public Health England (South West).

The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a ‘specialised’ Master’s Degree in that it has academic and professional elements, taking an interdisciplinary approach to areas related to public health. Students are taught how to monitor, diagnose and regulate the health concerns of communities through public policies.

The program is both for students who want to enter the public health field and those already working as health professionals who wants to progress their careers. There will be opportunities to engage with employers and real-world projects, and for those already in employment, there will be opportunities to network and develop their understanding and competencies.
