Public Health (Taught)

On this course, you'll receive instruction in core public health skills, including epidemiology, statistics, and research methods. You'll also gain in-depth knowledge of a range of topics such as evidence-based public health, global health economics, and 21st-century global public health challenges. The curriculum's unique focus on the social determinants of health distinguishes it from similar programmes at other Greater Manchester universities.

This course aligns with the Public Health Skills and Knowledge Framework (2016). It will equip you with essential skills to effectively interpret and understand key areas of health research and apply this insight to inform and drive policy and public health initiatives.

During your studies, you can leverage the expertise and resources of our partners, including external public health practitioners and research staff from across the University. Although the programme does not include a placement or work experience, you will have the opportunity to engage in external or internal applied research projects as part of your dissertation.

The University of Salford’s School of Health and Society is an institutional member of the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER).

You will:

• Gain a public health qualification with a focus on the social determinants of health.

• Be exposed to significant issues prevalent in public health practice both nationally and globally.

• Develop a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach to public health.
