The MSc in Public Health is a research-informed, applied programme designed to provide students with advanced, specialist knowledge of the factors that shape population health and the skills to tackle them.
Through a diverse range of bespoke modules, students will critically engage with global and local public health challenges, exploring how health is influenced by social, political, economic and environmental determinants. This innovative and interdisciplinary programme encourages students to question models of healthcare delivery and to develop a nuanced understanding of the cultural, social and political contexts that inform and influence health promotion, protection and healthcare services.
A core strength of the programme lies in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing on expertise across two schools - Social Sciences and Humanities and Sports Exercise and Health Sciences - in sociology, social policy, communication and media, epidemiology and public health. Students will explore the dynamic interplay between research evidence and public health policy, developing the skills required to understand the multifactorial determinants of health and illness and shape policy agendas, implement interventions and advocate for systemic change.
