Masters (Coursework)
The Master of Public Health (MPH) degree is a two-year full-time equivalent qualification that can be completed either as postgraduate public health papers to the value of 120 points plus a 120 point thesis or postgraduate public health papers to the value of 180 points plus a 60 point dissertation. The MPH is an internationally recognised qualification in its field. It is taught in small classes, with an emphasis on multi-disciplinary approaches. Students are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds in the health, social and allied sciences, and many enrol on a part-time basis.
Graduates from the programme are equipped to work in a range of non-clinical fields in the health sector, principally in planning and management and in the delivery of public health programmes.
