Study Details: Full-time: 1 year
The MRes Health and Care (Public Health) is an advanced, research-focused master’s degree designed to equip public health practitioners with the expertise to design, lead and deliver high-impact research across diverse community, national and global health settings.
You will develop the methodological, analytical and critical appraisal skills needed to generate evidence that informs population-level decisions, shapes policy, and improves the health and wellbeing of communities. Guided by experienced researchers, you will undertake a substantial independent research project that runs throughout the programme, enabling you to contribute meaningful, practice-relevant research to real-world public health challenges.
This one-year programme is ideal for professionals who are passionate about evidence-based public health practice and motivated to progress into doctoral study, academic research, or leadership roles within health protection, health promotion, epidemiology or population health improvement.
You will need:
To be registered with a recognised public health body (e.g. UK Public Health Register) or international equivalent, or to hold a relevant degree and substantial experience in a public health–related role.
An Honours degree of 2:2 or above/or evidence of Level 7 study.
A submission of an outline proposal of the research to be undertaken.
The MRes Health and Care (Public Health) is designed to prepare you for a career in research or further study and research at doctoral level. Students completing the MRes will be well prepared to undertake doctoral programmes at the University of Derby, or other institutions offering Public Health Fellowships.
Alumni from the MRes are given advanced standing for our Doctorate in Health and Social Care Practice (DPrac) programme. This means that graduates from the MRes are admitted to the third year of the doctoral programme, with exemptions given for the first year 60 credit skills modules and the second year 60 credit service and practice development project. This enables our MRes graduates to enter the DPrac at year three – the postgraduate research phase.
