From developing strategies to tackle health inequalities and rising levels of obesity to promoting mental, physical and environmental health, this course prepares you for a wide range of roles and opportunities in public health.

Our degree with foundation year could be the stepping stone you need to achieve your goals. The foundation year aims to prepare you for degree-level study and is a great way to build the confidence, skills and knowledge needed to succeed on your degree course.The foundation year of this Coventry University degree will be delivered from our CU Coventry campus. Course delivery from year one of the degree onwards will be from our Coventry University campus.


Foundation Year

The foundation year supports you to gain the academic skills required for degree-level study and provides a grounding in key areas of health, education, psychology and wellbeing. Students who successfully complete their foundation year will then progress onto the Public Health BSc (Hons) degree within Coventry University’s School of Health and Care.


Degree

The degree explores practical strategies for tackling disease and preventing ill health, including health promotion programmes and approaches to health protection in response to emerging challenges. We aim to give you a real-world taste of the tasks and challenges you may face as a practitioner, preparing you through practical activities and workshops applicable to your future career.- The course aims to equip you to work in a range of roles within public health where you can make a real difference to people’s health and wellbeing.- Develop an understanding of health disparities and health inequalities at local, national and international level as well as the knowledge to be able to improve health outcomes through the effective planning, execution and evaluation of health interventions to change behaviour.- The course offers the opportunity to develop knowledge around differing health needs, influences on health, and how to prevent ill health and promote health and wellbeing.


Why you should study this course

- Learning is interactive and creative with hands-on learning sessions related to real-life situations.- Taught by current public health experts from a range of practice, research, academic and leadership backgrounds (staff may be subject to change).- The assessments use the same competencies, knowledge and skills that you will use in many public health job roles.- You will also have interprofessional learning opportunities allowing students from health-related courses the opportunity to share, learn and work together.For further information please check the course page on the Coventry University website.
