Course summary

Public health is the science and art of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities. A Masters in Public Health (MPH) from the University of Glasgow allows you to develop the knowledge and skills needed to make a difference.The MPH is taught using a variety of interactive approaches by academics and practitioners with expertise in epidemiology, statistics, global health, and public health research.The programme is multidisciplinary - our staff and students come from a range of backgrounds including medicine, nursing, mathematics, computer science, psychology, sociology, and social policy. Public health plays a central role in guiding health care practice, influencing health policy, protecting the public, and improving population health. Recognised in most countries as an essential qualification for a career in public health.Public Health students at the University of Glasgow benefit from learning within a research-intense environment, with staff working in various areas linked to Public Health. Students will engage with interactive lectures, small group tutorials and seminars, computer labs and practical sessions, self-directed learning, online learning, and supervision. Students undertake a variety of assessments, including essays, reports, practical skills coursework, and presentations. The MPH degree may be obtained with or without a specialism. Specialisms require an additional core course, and the dissertation must be on a suitable topic. Those interested in a specialism should apply for the general MPH programme and a specialism can be chosen during the induction week.This specialism will be relevant to those developing careers in health promotion or improvement with the National Health Service or third sector organisations. With a focus on key concepts in health promotion theory and practice, it will prepare graduates to contribute to health promotion related knowledge management, project development, policy analysis, building capacity in individuals and communities, and partnership working.
