This Masters in Public Health (MPH) is for those who wish to pursue a career in public health in the UK and internationally with:

• the UK National Health Service (or its equivalent abroad)
• local government
• the voluntary sector
• academic healthcare

A public health doctor must consider issues at many levels, including:

• societal (eg health inequalities)
• demographic (ageing and long term conditions)
• cultural (eg changing public attitudes to health and wellness)
• social (eg drug and alcohol abuse)

On the MPH in Public Health, you will address these issues and others, with a range of advanced research skills, analyses, and interventions. You will study how to apply research findings to improve health and health services

The MPH provides a broad-ranging preparation for the Part A examination of the Faculty of Public Health. Our teaching has been mapped against the Faculty’s competencies for public health practitioners to ensure that we continue to provide an excellent academic training.

The Institute is committed to undertake research and teaching to:

• reduce health inequalities
• address social injustice
• improve population health locally, nationally, and internationally

A 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent, in a medical, health or social sciences discipline. You can also apply if you have successfully completed the fourth year of the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) course, or equivalent.

If you have a different background you will be considered on an individual basis. If you have non-standard qualifications then you will be invited to an interview.
