Course summary
Develop the research, evaluation and analytical skills you need to understand and undertake a wide range of public health activities, in national and international contexts. Course description We are encountering new challenges in public health – for example, the obesity crisis – that means the focus of public health bodies is shifting away from traditional communicable diseases. With new challenges come more opportunities to improve population-level health. This course covers the broad range of knowledge and skills required for public health practice around the world. You’ll explore how public health principles apply to professional practice and how research processes apply to public health. Your understanding of public health approaches will be increased, as will your knowledge of health service organisations, management and economics. The course welcomes students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. Intercalation We accept medical students who wish to intercalate their studies. Find out more on the School of Medicine and Population Health website. Continuing Professional Development All modules on this course can be studied as standalone CPD modules. It is possible to complete standalone modules and then apply to transfer to an MSc/PGDip/PGCert qualification.
