Master of Public Health

Applicants are encouraged to apply from a diverse range of backgrounds, including medical and health professionals, analysts, computer and data scientists, engineers, architects, planners, environmental health officers, journalists, lawyers, economists, innovators, entrepreneurs, and business professionals. This reflects the interdisciplinary nature of public health research and practice, aligning with the World Health Organization Health In All Policies approach.

The program is a full-time, face-to-face program that is completed within one academic year. It consists of six core modules that provide a foundation in epidemiology, statistical methods in public health, and the application of epidemiological principles in a public health context.

Additionally, the program equips students with the expertise to promote and lead change by engaging with health policy, leadership, and management research and theory. It supports students in making strategic decisions regarding health protection and improvement and allows them to apply their learning through critical evaluation of relevant case study scenarios in the field.

To obtain the Master's qualification, students will undertake a final dissertation project on a suitable public health topic, which will be agreed upon with their supervisor. Dissertation projects can cover a wide range of topics, including research, service evaluation, innovation, or entrepreneurship in areas such as health protection, health improvement, or healthcare public health. Students will receive full support from their dissertation supervisor and the program faculty.
