Public Health MSc Welcome Pack

Welcome to MSc Public Health

We are delighted to welcome you to the MSc Public Health programme at the University of Northampton. With an ever-expanding list of threats to human health, we are rising up to meet the emerging health threats of the present day, while training leaders who will be prepared to tackle both contemporary and unforeseen public health challenges.

This programme prepares students for public health leadership and equip them to assume an active role and responsibility for improving the population’s health in a range of settings. We place particular emphasis on advancing your critical awareness and problem-solving skills, to develop innovative and pro-active approaches that will meet the complex health needs of the population. All we want is for you to embrace all of the opportunities and support available to you;  be bold, think differently and realise your potential. We want your postgraduate journey with us to be intellectually stretching, rewarding and fun.

We are pleased that you have chosen us for the next step in your career and we hope that your experience on this programme is all that you wish for.
