Overview

Contemporary public health practice requires practitioners to be adaptable and flexible, with a broad experience of a range of subject areas.

This Public Health (Web-based Learning) course from The University of Manchester will equip you with:

the skills and knowledge to apply to public health concerns at local, national and international level;
the ability to apply relevant theory and scientific principles to practical situations;
the capability of meeting core-competencies in public health.

We offer a number of different pathways including PGCert, PGDip and MPH awards.

Career opportunities

Most of the students complete the course part-time while working in a wide variety of jobs and sectors.

Some use their experience and qualification to help them move into predominantly public health-related roles.

Many of our students - e.g. health promotion staff, GPs, hospital doctors, pharmacists, infection control nurses, managers and researchers - take the course to give them public health skills and expertise to apply within their own profession and/or setting.
