Overview

At the Applied Public Health programme from The University of Lancashire you'll cover a range of public health disciplines including health protection, healthy settings, epidemiology, media and communication, along with issues relating to public health.

You’ll look at planning, strategies and public health in action. This will include key themes such as diet and nutrition, children and young people, healthy settings and the media.

We use action learning and case studies to underpin theory and the need to work in partnership and engage in reflective practice.

What you'll do

You’ll examine local, national and international examples of public health initiatives, and assess their relationship with social circumstances and policy priorities.

The learning outcomes of the core modules are mapped against the Royal Society for Public Health standards and the NHS Knowledge and Skills Competency Framework.

You’ll learn about research methods, epidemiology and informatics to inform evidence-based approaches to public health.

Future careers

A postgraduate qualification in Applied Public Health can lead to rewarding careers in health community work, health promotion, sport and leisure, environment, and education.

With an MSc/PGCert/PGDip in Applied Public Health, you can work as a Public Health Practitioner and advance your career by progressing towards registration as a Specialist Practitioner in Public Health.

Career opportunities also exist in management, strategic and educational, as well as practitioner posts.
