It focuses on population health, considering issues such as the socio-economic and behavioural factors affecting health and health provision.

It will provide an in depth understanding of the role governments play in determining health policy, how wealth systems function, and how the biological and social bases of ill-health exist in our communities.

You must have a minimum of one semester (usually 6 months) of full-time study in an undergraduate degree programme from a recognised university (or similar institution), with a minimum GPA or GPE of 5.0 or higher, either across your last semester of full-time study, or across your entire degree so far.

A rank order will then be established based on academic performance (based on GPA). Places will be offered to the highest ranking applicants until the programme limit is reached.

The number of places available is dependent on the number of places filled by school leaver, Certificate of Health Sciences, and Tertiary Foundation Certificate applicants, who are guaranteed a place if they meet the requirements.
