Population Health Sciences - MPhil - Closed
From the Department of Public Health and Primary Care
Please note that the PH (Public Health), HDS (Health Data Science) and GH (Global Health) themes are now closed for applications.
The MPhil in Population Health Sciences includes the academic disciplines of epidemiology, global health, health data science, infectious diseases, public health, and primary care research. In the first term, all students take five core modules in biostatistics, epidemiology, applied data analysis, public health and research skills. Students subsequently select at least six additional modules, either following a designated pathway in one of the named specialisation themes (epidemiology, global health, health data science, infectious diseases, public health, and primary care research) or following a more personalised pathway.
The course is open to postgraduates who wish to pursue a research, practice or leadership career in population health sciences.
