The MSc Public Health creates professionals who can lead and implement change in public health across the world stage. This course was designed in consultation with Public Health Wales and supports the development of public health practitioners through enabling them to negotiate, plan, implement and evaluate policy and practice initiatives. This master's course recognizes that health challenges can be more global than a single country’s population but that local policy and regulation responses will vary from country to country.
Modules include relevant theoretical and ethical concepts to encourage students to reflect critically on questions and decisions that arise in the field of public health. At the end of the course, students will develop as responsive professionals who can negotiate, plan, implement and evaluate public health policy and practice.
Students also have the opportunity to utilize practical health promotion skills with on campus health promotion activities around a number of health awareness days like the Worlds HIV Day. Students staff health promotion stands, develop materials and programmes for dissemination to USW students on other campuses.
The MSc Public Health course will be delivered using a blended learning approach predominately using interactive lectures that integrate a wide variety of learning formats. A typical lecture includes a mix of tutor led lecture content alongside structured activities and tasks to allow students to gain and share theoretical knowledge, and apply this new knowledge to practical public health examples. Across the public health course there is an experienced teaching team including full time, part time and visiting or guest lecturers.
This course opens up a variety of employment opportunities in the UK and internationally, and across the public and voluntary sectors like schools, colleges and universities, advocacy organizations, international NGOs, consulting firms, local and national government organizations, health delivery organizations and community development organizations. There is also opportunity to work in global organizations such as the WHO. Graduates could also progress to a postgraduate research and pursue a career in research or academia.
