Global Strategy in Environmental Health and Sustainability

Entry requirements

A second class honours degree or better from a university of the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, or from a recognised national awarding body, or from an institution of another country which has been recognised as being of an equivalent standard; or an equivalent standard (normally 50%) in a Graduate Diploma, Graduate Certificate, Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma or an approved alternative qualification.

In exceptional circumstances, as an alternative to the above, where an individual has substantial and significant experiential learning, a portfolio of written evidence demonstrating the meeting of graduate qualities (including subject-specific outcomes, as determined by the Course Committee) may be considered as an alternative entrance route.

Course content

Globally relevant, this innovative programme focuses on Environmental Health’s role in delivering safe, healthy communities and sustainable development. Embedding the core principles of environmental health throughout the programme, this course is built around the five core disciplines of environmental health and directly linked to the attainment of UN Sustainability Goals:

• food safety and integrity

• public protection and well-being

• health and safety

• housing and communities

• environmental protection and sustainability

Underpinned by the six principles of environmental health:

• maintenance and protection of human health is at the centre of all environmental health action

• protection of the most disadvantaged need for democratic government and governance

• cooperation and partnership sustainability

• environmental health issues are truly international in character

For existing practitioners, you will gain the skills and knowledge to progress to leadership roles. As a graduate from another discipline, we will prepare you for a career in environmental health. Alternatively, you may progress to further study at PhD level.

Professional Recognition - Aligned to the Professional Standards Framework of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health.
