This is a modular multidisciplinary programme which offers a progression through Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits) and Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits) to a Masters in Public Health (Health Protection) (180 credits). Its modular nature allows the flexibility for participants to shape the programme to fit their needs in a way that ensures maximum utility with minimum disruption. Moreover, the course is delivered in an environment that combines the pragmatism and ‘can do’ spirit of a modern dynamic health service with the rigour, discipline, and high standards of a premier Russell Group university.
The programme can be studied either full-time, part-time or over up to six years by flexible learning. Overseas students may only study the programme full-time. Teaching takes place in one-week blocks.
