About Public Health (International Health), MPH - at University of Nottingham

The MPH (International Health), aligned with our Masters of Public Health, is a specific pathway to meet the needs of students wishing to study public health with an emphasis on international health issues.

We offer optional in-depth modules in epidemiology and statistics.

Course Content

The programme has three major components:

Core modules

These are related to the essential public health disciplines. Students study generic material in Semester 1 before moving on to studying International Health across Semester 2.

    • Research Methods in Epidemiology with Basic Statistics

 

    • Introduction to Health Care Systems

 

    • Evaluation Techniques

Optional modules

These allow students to develop individual interests. You are advised to plan carefully to ensure a balance of credit across the semesters.

A full description of all modules can be found at the bottom of this page.

Students undertake an extended project of their choice focussing on an international health issue or that makes use of and develops generic analytical skills by applying them to international health data. This leads to a dissertation, designed to integrate knowledge and skills acquired throughout the course.

It is expected that students from overseas will bring with them ideas and material suitable for their project, and may discuss these in advance with staff.
