You address contemporary public health challenges and social health issues. Explore localised and global health problems, while analysing the political and environmental determinants which create these epidemiological and social health dilemmas. This course is theoretical in nature and involves a clinical placement or practice component.You apply contemporary public health theory to practice, developing a critical understanding of complex global public health issues, and translate theoretical scientific knowledge in public health into tangible sustainable interventions for improved health.Our master’s degrees are developed in line with the Public Health Skills and Knowledge Framework (2018), the Faculty of Public Health core competencies (2014) and the United Nations sustainable development goals (2016).The course is offered as a one-year full-time intensive course (Master of Public Health), or as a two-year full-time course which includes applied practice (Master of Public Health (Applied)).The one-year course is a great option if you want to gain a traditional Master’s qualification, graduate and start on your career path within 12 months, or if you want a stepping stone to gain entry onto the Doctor of Public Health.The two-year course enhances your qualification by adding a vocational or research based internship to the one-year master’s programme. A vocational internship is a great way to gain work experience and give your CV a competitive edge. A research internship provides you with the opportunity to develop your analytical, team-working, research and academic skills by working alongside a research team in an academic setting. We guarantee a research internship, but cannot guarantee a vocational internship. We will provide you with practical support and advice on how to find and secure your own vocational internship position should you prefer this type of internship.
