COURSE OVERVIEW

Interactive lectures are delivered by academics, practitioners and advocates from the frontlines of public health.

Each module is delivered within an intensive immersive week, with ‘breaks’ between modules during which time students focus on seminars, tutorials, assignments, research and extracurricular activities. This structure also works very well for part time, working students.

You will be assessed through a portfolio of projects that aim to enhance your employability and practical skills. Assessments include a health needs assessment, funding proposals, public health intervention design and evaluation plan, and poster presentations. Students can also exit with PGDip and PGCert awards. This course is validated by the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex.
