Program Description Environmental health is the branch of public health concerned with how people's living, working and leisure environments affect their health. It's a gripping subject to study and a fascinating field to work in. Whether students are helping improve the living conditions of society's poorest, or working with a company to improve health and safety for staff and customers, their work will have a huge, life-changing and often life-saving impact. This course is highly work-focused, with a strong emphasis on practical laboratory work and real-life case studies and students will be able to take advantage of Middlesex University's close links within the industry. The course is centred on UK law and practice, but is designed to be flexible and provide education and training that will be valuable internationally. Students will have access to a range of excellent facilities including a microbiology laboratory and pestology materials. They will be able to study specialist modules areas such as food safety, and health and safety which are particularly valued by both local authorities and the private sector. Many of the teaching staff are chartered environmental health practitioners and under their expert guidance, previous students have done research into a wide variety of areas, including listeria in food, the effects of heavy smoking, skin lightening, water pollution and the attitudes of people living in high-rise buildings towards recycling.
