Master of Public Health (Epidemiology)

Master of Public Health (Epidemiology)

MPH with a specialised track in Epidemiology provides a comprehensive overview of the basic science of Public Health, which entails a detailed understanding of epidemiology, and the acquisition of the complex skill-set required to conduct public health research projects.

The core modules cover epidemiology and qualitative research methods, including the application of appropriate study designs, their critical appraisal and the essential principles and procedures for ethical practice. You will then specialise by studying Regression and Evidence Based Methods for Epidemiology, Advanced Epidemiological Modelling, and Epidemiology of Disease.

In addition to the subject matter knowledge you gain, you will develop additional cognitive, team, communication, research, ICT, numeracy and project planning skills that are eminently transferable within the sector. You will complete your programme with a dissertation based on your own original public health research relevant to this area of specialisation.

As an MPH student you will gain a broad and international education in the science and art of preventing disease, developing the skills required for the wide and increasing variety of opportunities in public health. This specialised track also involves the study of factors affecting health and illness among populations through epidemiological methods and research.
