MSc
Summary
In these rapidly changing times, preventing disease, improving our health, and reducing health inequality will depend on a broad range of people and expertise. Our MSc in Public Health reflects this, offering an unparalleled number of specialised modules designed to help you become a catalyst for change in your area of interest.
Over one year (full-time) or two years (part-time), you’ll gain a strong grasp on the core disciplines of public health. Your faculty leaders, who are active researchers in their fields, have all the experience needed to help you succeed in the specialist studies for your chosen career path.
This stream provides a sound understanding of the theoretical and empirical basis of health promotion, equipping students with the conceptual and practical skills to design and evaluate health promotion interventions and programmes. Health promotion draws on ideas from sociology, psychology, anthropology, education, epidemiology and other disciplines to understand how the health of populations can be maintained and strengthened.
By the end of this stream, students will be able to demonstrate ability to apply knowledge of the core disciplines of public health, consisting of: statistics; epidemiology; health economics; and social research, to real health problems. In addition, they will be able to: - demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the principal theories, methods and interventions used in health promotion
-
understand the development of the discipline of health promotion in the UK and internationally
-
assess the appropriate use of population-wide versus targeted health promotion interventions
-
formulate health promotion policy and practice that is relevant to varying needs in diverse contexts
-
be able to appraise and communicate research evidence
-
apply the knowledge and analytical skills gained to inform health promotion policy-making, programme planning, implementation and evaluation.
Please note: applications for the 2026/27 academic year are expected to open in November 2025. This information relates to 2025/26 academic year and will be updated in due course.
