Enhanced Extended Master of Public Health (September) (MPH)

The Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters programmes at the University of West London are intended for students who already have an undergraduate degree but do not meet the entry requirements to study for a Masters degree. Over a full-time semester, students will study four modules specially designed to improve their academic and English language skills:

• Advanced Study Skills • Critical Thinking, Analysis and Evaluation • Statistics • English (Business English on the Enhanced course)

The Enhanced Extended Masters is similar to the Extended Masters, but with a greater focus on improving students’ English skills. It also includes a Business English module, which will allow students to gain a full understanding of this critical subject area.

Once completed, students will progress directly onto the core Masters course.

The Master of Public Health (MPH) at the University of West London is designed for students who want to promote and protect population health and support individuals and communities in improving their health and wellbeing.

The course provides knowledge to understand how financial, social and environmental factors influence health outcomes.

Students from a variety of professional and vocational backgrounds are welcomed and will study in a supportive learning environment.

The programme develops skills in critical analysis and synthesis, evidence retrieval, interpreting information from diverse sources, and leadership and creativity to address public health challenges at both local and global levels.

It focuses on key public health disciplines, including healthy public policy, epidemiology, research methods and global public health, with a strong emphasis on the health of individuals, families and communities.

Teaching is delivered by a team of lecturers with experience in both UK and international public health contexts.
