Course Overview

The Public Health course is structured through the academic year, and students can start the course in either September or February. Each 20 credit module has seven weeks of teaching which runs 10.00-3.00, with assessment to complete after the teaching has concluded. You will need to study nine modules (180 credits) to achieve the MSc Public Health.

Between September to February students will complete Leading Change, Protecting Health in Diverse Environments, Governance and Economics, and Integrating Public Health Practice. Between February and August students will complete Sustainable Public Health, Evidence-Based Public Health, Public Health Project, Health Promotion, and one optional module (International Family Health or Epidemiology and Biostatistics).

Teaching

The teaching and learning methods we use are designed to support motivation, interactivity, and development of future graduates in public health practice.

The MSc Public Health course will be delivered using a blended learning approach predominately using interactive lectures that integrate a wide variety of learning formats. A typical lecture includes a mix of tutor-led lecture content alongside structured activities and tasks to allow students to gain and share theoretical knowledge, and apply this new knowledge to practical public health examples.

All our modules are supported by Blackboard (the online learning environment), where weekly lecture notes and wider reading is available to students.

You will be expected to manage your own enquiry-based learning. Learning takes place alongside students from a wide range of disciplines and from a wide range of countries. This provides a rich learning environment concordant with contemporary multi-disciplinary approaches to public health.

Most teaching will be between 10am and 3pm. Modules run for seven weeks. There will be some activities (including elements of assessment) which fall outside these times, but notice will be given of these. 

Entry Requirement
