Programme
Prevent disease and promote health across whole communities.
Pending IDIA confirmation
Public Health prepares you to address health issues at the level of whole populations. You study epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health policy and management, and the social and behavioural sciences, alongside practical skills in disease prevention, health promotion and research methods.
Classroom learning is combined with field work, case studies and data-analysis projects, and with IDIA's Learning Through Service (LTS) project, so that you graduate already familiar with public health work in communities.
