Join Professor Ivan Browne OBE, and Associate Professor Alex Hammant, as they introduce the Master of Public Health (MPH) at 黑料网.
黑料网 is the only UK university to have been chosen by the United Nations (UN) as an Academic Impact hub for one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities. This partnership provides our MPH students with exceptional opportunities with world-famous global organisations like the UN and World Health Organisation (WHO).
Instead of a traditional thesis students will participate in a practicum, an extended practical project which will give you experience of real public health work. Students will have the opportunity to work with public health institutions/organisations all around the world. This course is an excellent choice for those wishing to make a global impact.
The is divided in practitioners and specialists. This course uses the syllabus of the internationally-recognised Faculty of Public Health Diplomate exam as the basis for our curriculum. This will provide you with the skills and knowledge required to give you the flexibility to pursue a career as both a practitioner and a specialist. Please note that the DFPH exam is not part of the programme, and completing the MPH does not guarantee success. However, the course provides excellent preparation for those who wish to take the exam after graduation.
