Summary

Master of Public Health: How It Works The Master of Public Health is available as five different programmes, each with its own unique study stream. Much of the core content is the same across all programmes, but each stream has a particular focus enabling you to take control of your studies and delve deeper into the areas of international public health that you're most passionate about.

The five streams are:

  • Master of Public Health (Sexual and Reproductive Health)

  • Master of Public Health (International)

  • Master of Public Health (Humanitarian Health)

  • Master of Public Health (Managing Health Services)

  • Master of Public Health (Outbreak Control Health Protection)

  • Master of Public Health (Sexual and Reproductive Health) stream

While building a broad knowledge of international public health, you'll specialise with a compulsory module. You'll build the skills and knowledge to support people in low and middle income countries, where sexual and reproductive health is affecting long-term outcomes for entire populations.

This stream will prepare you for pivotal leadership roles that will improve sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn and adolescent health where it's needed most. Applied, evidence-based learning will equip you with the know-how to strengthen health systems and influence policy, empowering you to change lives from their very beginning.

Why should I study public health? Public health matters for everyone, and is absolutely critical for societies to thrive. The health and wellbeing of populations has far-reaching and long-lasting effects on a community's success, sustainability and stability, and often has a regional, national and even global impact.

In the world's poorest countries, a lack of consistent high-quality public health has led to stark health inequalities. The impact of this has stifled prosperity and economic growth, widening the socio-economic divide and limiting quality of life.

By taking your public health expertise to the next level, you will build the professional toolkit to lead the improvement of health systems in low-resource settings, tackle global inequalities and change lives for the better.

What will I get out of it? Taught by public health experts from across the globe, and learning from the valuable experience of your peers, you'll examine a broad range of contemporary issues in international public health, and build the knowledge and skills to identify and address public health challenges at every level.

Your final project will enable you to explore an area of public health you're really passionate about. It will give you the chance to apply your new skill-set to real-life experience, and you'll have the opportunity to do it abroad.

As a Master of Public Health, you will have the tools to influence social, environmental and structural determinants of health, help protect populations against current and emerging threats, and become part of a global solution.

Is Public Health for me? It takes a diverse range of people with different strengths and skills to build a robust and sustainable workforce to successfully tackle the challenges faced in international public health.

If you want to improve people's health, wellbeing and life outcomes, and are passionate about closing the gap on global health equality, you're looking in the right place.

The majority of our students are health professionals and graduates in health or related subjects, but we also welcome candidates with qualifications in other subjects and non-graduates with considerable relevant experience.

MPH

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine

Liverpool School Of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) was founded on the 12th November 1898 by Sir Alfred Lewis Jones, an influential shipping magnate. At this time Liverpool was a prominent port city and enjoyed extensive trade with overseas regions such as West and Southern Africa. This led to a high number of patients in the region being admitted to hospital with ‘tropical’ diseases, and so Sir Alfred Jones donated £350 to set up a School of Tropical Medicine to investigate these outbreaks. 115 years later LSTM was awarded higher education institution status in 2013.
