Public Health (Online)

Our distance learning Master of Public Health (MPH) course meets the training needs of health professionals around the world who are interested in a career in public health or those seeking new skills in this area.

Contemporary public health practice requires practitioners to be adaptable and flexible, with a broad experience of a range of subject areas.

As public health is a rapidly changing and interdisciplinary field, our programme is constantly evolving with new course units and topics being introduced regularly to ensure that you are at the forefront of contemporary public health practice. We also have additional learning opportunities through our research and CPD programme that deal with the hot topics in public health and primary care.

This course will equip you with:

the skills and knowledge to apply to public health concerns at local, national and international level;

the ability to apply relevant theory and scientific principles to practical situations;

the capability of meeting core-competencies in public health.

PGCert, PGDip and MPH awards are available.
