MPhil in Public Health

This intensive full-time course is designed to provide successful students with the necessary theoretical knowledge and skills which, when combined with appropriate further experience, will enable them to make a professional contribution to public health research or practice. Approximately two thirds of the curriculum are shared with the MPhil in Epidemiology, providing students with a full understanding of a key science underpinning public health practice.  The course draws on local strengths in quantitative methods and their application to the solution of public health problems. It covers most of the curriculum for the UK Faculty of Health Part A examination. Throughout the course students can draw on the research expertise within the Institute of Public Health and wider expertise in the University. The course is open to medical and non-medical graduates.
