BSc Public Health
Course overview
The BSc (Hons) Public Health at Coventry University is an undergraduate degree that prepares graduates for roles in healthcare. Students gain the skills necessary to care for people, especially those with disabilities and impairments. This course is for students who enjoy working with people, including infants and the aged.
In this programme, students do research and practicals to equip them with the knowledge to diagnose and prescribe drugs for patients’ safe recovery from illness and other diseases. Part of this course requires students to work outdoors, where they provide health consultations through immunisation for infants and check-ups for adults.
Additionally, graduates receive mentorship in areas like epidemiology, health promotion, biostatistics, and health policy to work in public, private, and non-profit sectors. These modules help graduates to provide solutions to health challenges, especially in the aspects of disease control, sanitation, and maternal health.
Learning in this course is through lectures, seminars, and one-on-one discussions with public health experts, brainstorming sessions, laboratory exercises, and field visits to health organisations. Assessment methods include lab reports, tests, assignments, examinations, and a final-year project.
