The programme has a modular structure, with four modules and a Research Dissertation. Each of the modules confers 30 Scottish Higher Education points at Master's level and the Research Dissertation confers 60 points:
- The Nature and Scope of Public Health Practice
- Health Protection and Improvement
- Advanced Research Methods
- Community Aspirations and Resources
- Research Dissertation
The modules offer coherent full-time and part-time study pathways that enable progression towards eligibiltiy for the award of Postgraduate Diploma (PgD) Public Health and entry to the Research Dissertation that leads to the award of Master of Science (MSc) Public Health. They also enable students to develop knowledge and skills that are commensurate with safe and effective practice and can provide a platform for career development within the field of public health.
The content of the programme, which reflects the broad spectrum of activities that are associated with public health practice, involves both academic and practice components. All academic components are delivered via e-learning. This means that students can undertake study at times and in locations that suit each person's circumstances. Two of the modules, 'Community Aspirations and Resources' and 'Advanced Research Methods' can also be accessed by attendance supported with online activity to address the needs of students who prefer this mode of delivery.
Practice-based activities associated with the module Community Aspirations and Resources are based on the national framework for public health practice that has been developed by 'Skills for Health'. As part of the module, it is expected that the students will spend 12-15 days in practice, either in their normal place of work or in practice settings that are approved by the programme team.
