MA Public Health

The Public Health MA at Nottingham Trent University focuses on the local, national, and international elements of public health. Students will be required to explore these while considering different cultural, economic, and sustainable practices within the public health field and how these link with the theory learnt. In order to achieve breadth of understanding, students will explore the evidence base through analysis and critique of research, its epidemiological foundations, and the way that statistics inform and shape public health. Students will discuss health protection issues and determine how they affect policy development, and this will be underpinned by exploring the theoretical concepts of health and healing.

The need for a public health workforce that has the required skills, knowledge, and experience, and that is also able to adapt to changing demands with a focus on prevention and protection, is essential. This Public Health MA from Nottingham Trent University is an adaptable and evolving course that aims to prepare students for the public health workforce by exploring and linking theory to practice, enabling students to become future change agents and be job and career-ready. Students will explore topics that focus on public health from a local, national, and international perspective, immersed in social theory, to develop transferable skills.
