Course Overview

With the increasing emphasis on health protection, promotion, and disease prevention, a variety of new career opportunities have been generated for people with postgraduate qualifications in public health.

The Public Health Skills and Career Framework (UK) has been used to define and organize the core areas of knowledge and relevant skills into our five core modules. Thus, all of the key public health competency areas are embedded into the course.

Even if your academic background is not directly in public health, we would encourage you to apply, particularly if you are working in the public health, social or community sectors in some capacity.

The course is supported by a range of high-profile speakers who are all experts in their fields.

We are here to help you plan your future, make the most of your time at University, and to enhance your employability. We provide access to part-time jobs, and extra-curricular employability-enhancing workshops and offer practical one-to-one help with career planning, including help with CVs, applications, and mock interviews. We also deliver group sessions on career planning within each course and we have a wide range of extensive information covering graduate jobs and postgraduate study.

Students and graduates of the University of Chester can use our services free of charge for up to two years after graduating.
