This Master’s programme provides practitioners with a wide range of backgrounds the opportunity to enhance their knowledge, understanding and professional skills for safe and effective public health practice.
Our programme is underpinned by world-leading research and a framework of social action, which is increasingly accepted as a means to reduce the enduring and currently widening inequalities in the experience of health, illness and wellbeing within and between countries. This framework aims to redress the balance between asset-based approaches and the more traditional deficit approach.
The programme is aligned to the UK Public Health Skills and Career Framework which in turn maps to WHO international standards. Practitioners will consider modern theory and research alongside current global strategies for health and development to improve the health and well-being of the population, prevent disease and minimize its consequences, prolong life and reduce inequalities in health.
Supported by a variety of teaching and learning approaches, our students engage in taught content through guided study, lectures from public health experts and participation in group work and seminars to encourage interaction. Lectures and seminars are also supported by online activity.
