What studying Public Health involves
From vaccinations to promoting healthy living, health care is increasingly concerned with dealing with groups of people. That’s the focus of this Public Health degree. Health is now recognised to be about social, economic and cultural issues – and how we deal with them is important for everyone.
Helping people lead healthier lives
Throughout this programme, you will examine subjects which impact on the quality of health, particularly the importance of creating supporting social, physical and cultural environments. Your studies will also give you the opportunity to critically assess Public Health policies.
