Overview

Public health is an evolving, interdisciplinary field that requires professionals who can work across sectors, disciplines and global contexts. This Public Health programme offered by The University of Manchester equips you with a strong foundation in core public health principles while giving you the flexibility to shape your studies around the issues and career pathways that matter most to you.

Alongside essential core units in epidemiology, health promotion, communicable disease control, intercultural public health and population health statistics, you can choose from a wide range of optional units that allow you to specialise in emerging and highly relevant areas of public health. These options span topics such as global health, planetary health, humanitarian response, health economics, health in crisis settings and women’s health.

Career opportunities
