Course summary

Our Global Public Health PGCert offers a high-quality and interactive online learning experience. It is a wide-ranging post-graduate programme that explores social, political, economic and ecological determinants of health, with a focus on health policy analysis.

The determinants of health and their consequences for health improvement and health inequalities are an essential part of the work of public health practitioners when dealing with health issues at the population level. Governments, researchers, and the public are increasingly aware of health inequity and the need for health systems to provide and promote health for all.

This postgraduate certificate will appeal to anyone with an interest in the health and wellbeing of societies within and across countries. It has direct relevance to anyone working in a health or policy setting, and to anyone with a general interest in the social and political sciences.

Assessment

Students will be assessed in a variety of different ways that will develop research, writing, presentation, and critical analytical skills. The assessments are carefully designed for students to demonstrate authentic and work-relevant skills. Students will gain experience writing for different audiences, participating in group presentations, and multi-media assessments. Formative assessments will be incorporated into each module to check progress towards meeting module outcomes and prepare students for their summative assessments.

Career paths

After graduating, you will be well-equipped to explore a career in health policy and health service delivery at local, national, and international levels – in governmental and international bodies as well as NGOs.

You will hold the skills and knowledge needed to work effectively in multi-disciplinary teams engaged in health improvement.

Since research and epistemology will be integrated into the modules you will learn, you could also get the opportunity to pursue further academic development in the form of a PhD.
