About this program
MPH Public Health
Students attend compulsory modules then choose from a wide range of approved modules. Students also have to attend a non assessed introductory week at the beginning of the course which provides an introduction to Public Health in particular in the context of health services in the UK.
If you wish to study this Program to Postgraduate Diploma level then you will need to complete the taught elements of the Program but will not need to complete a dissertation.
We also offer:
- The MPH (Health Technology Assessment) is a strand of the Master in Public Health (MPH) Program for those students who wish to specialise in public health with health technology assessment. The MPH (HTA) is an exit qualification from the MPH Program.
- The MPH (Statement of Extra Accredited Learning) Program - this Program provides a broader version of the current MPH Program (230 instead of 180 credits). By being formally assessed and accredited in more modules, the MPH (SEAL) allows students to demonstrate their wider competency range.
- The MPH (Global Health) Program. This course aimed at professionals already working in low- and middle-income countries or those aiming in the future to work in health care in such setting. It builds upon the well-established and successful Master in Public Health.
