Improve population health with evidence and policy
Online or on campus
Public health protects communities — not just individuals. This MSc trains practitioners to design surveillance systems, evaluate interventions, and influence policy. You will study epidemiological methods, environmental health, health economics, and programme evaluation using cases from the NHS, WHO frameworks, and community health networks in Africa and Asia. The dissertation addresses a real population-health question for a partner organisation.
