COURSE CURRICULUM

The Public Health MSc at Liverpool John Moores University is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the principles, practice, and research underpinning public health. Core modules cover essential areas such as Public Health Essentials, Improving and Protecting Health, Understanding Research, Informing Public Health, and Violence and Public Health, enabling students to develop a solid foundation in both theory and practical application. A substantial dissertation allows students to undertake independent research, applying methodological skills to real-world public health challenges. Optional modules offer opportunities to explore contemporary issues such as Global Health, Addictions, Health Improvement and Protection, Climate Change and Public Health, Work-Related Learning, or Independent Study, allowing students to tailor their learning to specific interests and career goals. The program emphasizes evidence-based practice and analytical skills, equipping students to assess population health needs, evaluate interventions, and inform policy and practice. Through a combination of taught content, applied learning, and research experience, students develop the competencies necessary to address health inequalities and contribute effectively to the public health sector. Graduates are well prepared for careers across local authorities, healthcare organisations, voluntary and private sectors, and research roles, with the skills to make meaningful contributions to improving population health outcomes.
