Course Overview
The MPH programme at Glasgow Caledonian University focuses on knowledge of public health systems and health outcomes across populations. Students study how health data is collected, how health policies are formed, and how interventions support communities.
The course includes study in epidemiology, health promotion, global health, and research methods. Students complete assignments, group work, and a dissertation that relates to public health topics. These activities support academic growth and applied understanding of public health practice.
The university maintains links with healthcare providers and public sector organisations. These links support learning through case examples and exposure to current public health work. Students come from different countries and academic backgrounds, which adds varied views to classroom discussions.
Graduates move into roles in health services, government departments, NGOs, and research units, with skills suited to public health practice and policy support.
