MPH Public Health

The MPH Public Health at the University of Wolverhampton is a master’s degree that equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to work in many public health areas. Students learn how to prevent disease, improve health, protect communities, and lead public health programmes. The course is full-time for 12 months or part-time for 2 years. It follows UK public health standards and helps you meet some of the requirements for the UK Public Health Register. Key modules include Public Health Epidemiology and Statistics, Advanced Research Skills, Assessing Health Needs in Populations, Health Protection and Health Improvement, and Social Perspectives on Health Policy.

The MPH is mapped to the Public Health Skills and Knowledge Framework and the UK Public Health Register specialist register standards. This means you will study modules that meet core competencies used by public health employers in the UK. Students learn through lectures, seminars, group tasks, discussions and guided research. They use real public health data, case studies, and learning that connects with current UK health policy. Assessments are through exams, essays, project reports, and presentations. In the final semester, students are required to do a research project (dissertation).
