COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Public Health equips students with the essential knowledge and skills to address pressing health challenges and promote wellbeing across populations. Core modules provide a comprehensive understanding of health promotion throughout the life course, exploring strategies to encourage positive behaviour change and improve public health outcomes. Students examine leadership and strategic management principles in public health, gaining insights into policy development, organisational governance, and multi-agency collaboration. The course also focuses on the foundational principles of public health, including epidemiology, research methods, and the application of statistics to understand population health trends and evaluate interventions. Learners develop the ability to critically assess societal and international health policies, considering the social, economic, and cultural factors that influence health outcomes globally. Through the dissertation module, students apply their research skills to investigate contemporary public health issues, producing evidence-based solutions with practical relevance. This structured and applied approach ensures graduates are equipped with the expertise to influence public health practice, lead initiatives, and contribute to policy and program development. By combining theoretical knowledge, research skills, and practical understanding, the program prepares students for a wide range of careers in public health, health promotion, policy, research, and related professional settings.
