Summary
This Programme of study has been created to align with Public Health workforce development in the UK and overseas health systems. It supports staff progression in accordance with the standards developed by the UK Faculty of Public Health and Royal Society of Public Health in their professional skills and knowledge framework; we will also blend in equivalent requirements from overseas colleges and faculties where our international students are drawn from. Global standards endorsed by WHO and ICRC will also be addressed by studying their evolution from the UN’s declaration to provide health for all by the year 2000 to the ongoing Health Care in Danger programme managed by the ICRC and other significant milestones.
This programme will therefore advance your knowledge, skills and behaviours as proficient communicators, problem solvers, planners and decision makers across the domains of public health: Health Promotion, Health Education, Epidemiology, Resourcing are included as core.
Program Aim
Our aim is to develop intelligent, self-motivated, knowledgeable leaders, planners and practitioners for employment across the public health professions and disciplines who will challenge the orthodox, are able to fail early and learn quickly in a congested, highly contested and often confused politico-socioeconomic environment.
Why Choose this Program?
The impact of climate change and disrupting the environment through industrial levels of human activity including conflict have never been so evident as they are in the early C21st. Governments know that public health protects and improves the public's health; reducing health inequalities between individuals, groups and communities, through co-ordinated systems and a wide action base (UKGov, 2016: p16). But these historic and contemporary health challenges demand a truly transformative approach to effectively meet them which means adopting a paradigm shift from traditional downstream treatment of disease and injury to upstream interventions aimed at a balance that maintains communities’ health and wellbeing. This innovative program places ‘planetary health’ theory (Lancet, 2016) at its core and will prepare you for a wide range of roles and responsibilities within the wider public health domain in the UK and globally.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Minimum 2:2 first degree in a subject associated with the wider determinants of public health, the public’s health or healthy public policy. |
