Looking to pursue a specialist area of Public Health?
The University of Liverpool’s online Master of Public Health (MPH) – Global Health is internationally respected for its multidisciplinary focus and commitment to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Health for All principles.
If you are working in health promotion, policy development and evaluation, this MPH will enhance your existing knowledge and expertise while providing a basis for career development towards senior and managerial positions in the profession.
This MPH programme has a specialist focus on the impact communicable diseases and environmental hazards have on the health of populations globally. It also considers the emergency response strategies for managing natural and manmade disasters, including pandemic response.
Programme delivery takes place via the virtual learning platform, enabling you to pursue the modules in your own time, within the timeframe of each module. You will also be part of an international student community with multidisciplinary backgrounds allowing for a global exchange of knowledge.
The following MPH programmes are also available:
• Master of Public Health (MPH)
