This course is likely to be attractive to both medical and non-medical graduates. The range of modules will offer students excellent opportunities to develop their skills in areas such as epidemiology; policy development and analysis; leadership; and the collaborative and partnership working required to tackle determinants of health that transcend national boundaries. With the increasing emphasis on health protection, promotion and disease prevention, a variety of new career opportunities have been generated for people with a postgraduate qualification in public health. The Public Health Skills and Career Framework (UK) has been used to define and organise the core areas of knowledge and relevant skills into the five core modules. Thus, all of the key public health competency areas are embedded into the course. Students with an academic background that is not directly in public health, are encouraged to apply, particularly if they are working in the public health, social or community sectors in some capacity. The course is supported by a range of high-profile speakers who are all experts in their fields.
