Course summary

On this Master of Public Health degree, you will learn skills to make a positive difference to the physical, social and mental health outcomes and wellbeing of people within and across local, regional, national, and international populations.

With an emphasis on reducing health inequalities, you will develop the ability to interpret and understand key areas of health and social research, and how it can be used to inform policy and improve public health.
