The Masters in Public Health is a taught masters programme that provides training in health and social science perspectives on public health, and seeks to break down the boundaries between biomedical and social models of health.
The MPH can be undertaken over one year (12 months/full-time) or two years (24 months/part-time).
The programme is of particular interest to those working or planning to work at a senior level in healthcare organisations which aim to tackle inequalities in health, especially in the UK.
It provides a sound foundation for those who wish to go on to take the membership examination of the Faculty of Public Health. Students will benefit from the proximity of the Yorkshire and Humber Public Health Observatory on campus, providing access to public health data, analysis and advice.
