Designed to develop your research skills for a career in public health, this course will see you engage with academic leaders across all three fields. This includes guest speakers with experience in developing, managing and implementing interventions in public health.

A range of specialist streams will also help enhance your understanding of key challenges and strategies within critical areas of public health.

Depending on your project, you'll also have opportunities to assess the work of a number of leading health bodies through this course's links with institutions, such as the World Health Organisation and various local authorities.
