Course overview

The Master of Public Health course focuses on providing you with the most up-to-date healthcare skills and digital literacy in health services management, allowing you to improve healthcare delivery and better health outcomes at the population, community, and national levels. This course was developed in close cooperation with prominent public health companies and industry advisory boards to be adaptable and current in its design and delivery. This means you'll be confronted with a variety of teaching styles and evaluation methods to promote the development of your public health knowledge and abilities, allowing you to graduate with the specialised skills required for an effective profession in the public health field. This master's degree in public health additionally qualifies you for the digital and data-driven world into which the public health profession has now gone. You will also have the opportunity to learn how to use a variety of digital tools such as SPSS, NVIVO, Stata, Gorilla, and others. This allows you to learn about virtual simulations used to anticipate, method, and plan for potential infectious and non-infectious disease outbreaks, and in addition to know how to respond to real-world difficulties that may arise in your future public health profession.

The course is available for UK/EU & International Students and eligible for Student Loans Company (SLC) funding to help cover the cost of your tuition fees and other expenses. If you are an UK/EU citizen or living in the UK on an Indefinite stay, apart from the tuition fees, you could also receive support from the government via Student Loans Company to cover some living costs while studying. The maintenance loan depends on each individual's circumstances.
Fees breakdown:
Tuition fee loans cover the full cost of your course and are paid directly to the course provider.
Student Finance has to be paid back, however, you only make Student Loan repayments once you've left your course AND are earning enough. Repayments vary with your salary, and stop altogether if your income drops too low.
Maintenance Loan pays for day-to-day living expenses like rent, bills, food and books. Unlike the fees loan, it's paid directly to your student bank account once a term and you can spend it on anything you like.
Students can also apply for other types of special support grants, such as childcare grants or Disabled Students' Allowance if eligible.
Moreover, almost all universities offer a selection of student bursaries. These are cash gifts you usually don't have to repay.
