Public Health (PGDip)

University of Southampton

On our Master of Public Health, you'll learn how to promote health, prevent disease and address major global threats to the health landscape. Our leading experts in the sector will help you gain the skills you need to start a career that makes a difference on a local, national and global scale. Throughout the MPH Public Health course, you will gain a broad understanding of the political, social and economic factors that influence health, develop professional knowledge and skills to contribute to the health landscape and learn how to promote and influence the population's health and reduce health inequalities. You'll also learn to evaluate research and policy using appropriate methodological principles and critical thought. You will be able to personalise your learning to your interests through a wide range of optional modules, and prepare to work effectively in a multidisciplinary environment. You'll be taught by experts from across the university, including senior academics actively involved in research, as well as practitioners from the wider public health professional community. We recognise that public health is global health, and celebrate the diversity of our students on our master's in public health. You'll be working in an international environment, where your fellow students come from varied backgrounds all around the world.
