Our successful and innovative MPH in Public Health welcomes UK, EU and international applicants from a wide range of professions. It is ideal if you are seeking to broaden your knowledge and skill set, or are preparing for advancement in your field or career. The course focuses on the health of communities as a recognised concern to a wide group of professionals. We will show how good health can be a right, not a privilege.
