Course content

This Public Health programme prepares you to address health challenges and improve wellbeing at local, national, and global levels. The course develops your understanding of public health principles, evidence-based practice, and the strategies used to prevent disease and promote healthier communities.

You will explore the key factors that influence health outcomes, including social, environmental, behavioural, and biological determinants. The programme emphasises the design and evaluation of public health interventions, equipping you with the skills to develop initiatives that promote positive behaviour change and improve population health.

Throughout the course, you will gain experience in research methods, data analysis, and project management, enabling you to interpret health data and apply evidence to inform public health policy and practice. You will also develop leadership and communication skills to support collaboration across healthcare, government, and community organisations.

Studying in London offers access to a wide range of public health organisations, research institutions, and healthcare providers, creating opportunities to engage with current practices and professional networks.

Graduates will be prepared for careers in public health practice, policy development, research, and health promotion across government agencies, healthcare organisations, charities, and international bodies.
