Public health is about tackling the wider determinants of health and wellbeing. On this programme we’ll equip you with the expertise required to put public health principles into practice.
Established in 1989, the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree is internationally respected for its multidisciplinary focus and commitment to the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Health for All principles.
Critically appraising the complexities of health and social care systems, you’ll explore contemporary and historical influences on public health systems.
We’ll introduce you to key health protection principles, trace the development and evolution of health improvement strategies, and examine the social factors driving health inequalities.
Gaining experience using advanced statistical data and epidemiological techniques, you’ll discover qualitative research methodologies and receive a grounding in management theories and practice.
The MPH forms a core component of approved training programmes for Health Education North West (HENW). As such, it will help you prepare for UK Faculty of Public Health Part A examinations. You’ll graduate ready to take on a variety of leadership and management roles in public health research, practice and policy.
