It's possible to study this course part-time. You'll take the same modules as MPH students, but sometimes in a different order or in different years.
As a part-time student you'll typically study for twice as long as full-time students. For example, if the MPH course takes one year, you can expect to study over two years, though for some courses this may vary.
Focussing on core areas of health protection, health improvement, and service development, on this course you'll explore how social, economic, and environmental factors influence health outcomes.
We'll cover essential topics such as population health, health protection, and governance, and you’ll gain essential skills in research, leadership, critical thinking, and communication while exploring public health challenges through applied learning and real-world case studies.
Prepare for roles in local, national, and international public health organisations.
Career opportunities for Master of Public Health graduates span the NHS, local authorities, NGOs, international bodies like the WHO, and policy think tanks.

You'll build transferable skills in research, communication, and strategic thinking. We offer dedicated career support services such as CV workshops, interview coaching, and an Enterprise Hub, which provides expert guidance for start-ups and consultancy work.
