Develop your critical thinking, knowledge and skills in a diverse and inclusive classroom, focusing on how we can understand and improve global population health. Important notice: This course is being revalidated for the September 2025 start to enhance the student experience. Modules, content, and assessments may change, but the course focus and learning outcomes are expected to remain as described. Updated details will be published here in mid-April.
The MSc Public Health explores how social factors influence disease prevention and population health across diverse settings – from education to urban planning, workplaces, transport infrastructure and agriculture. Guided by World Health Organisation principles such as equity, health as a human right, and partnership, we’ll tackle the complex, political and dynamic nature of health, illness and disability.
Normally a degree or other qualification at an equivalent level plus experience in the field of public health or research. We are keen to encourage applicants from a variety of backgrounds.
You may also be able to claim credit points which can reduce the amount of time it takes to complete your qualification at Sheffield Hallam.
