How is health care delivered throughout the world? What are the ethical and economic issues that impact care in different countries? How influential are governments when it comes to global health crises?
Our MPH (Global Health) course enables you to evaluate and analyse global public health problems in relation to a population’s health and well-being. As well as the practical skills needed to succeed in public health across the globe. The Nottingham Centre for Public Health and Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham holds a full Institutional-level Accreditation by the Agency for Public Health Education Accreditation (APHEA). The MPH (Global Health) course curriculum is fully accredited by APHEA.
Internationalisation and globalisation is embedded throughout the course; this focus ensures that you're developing a broad understanding of the differences in how public health issues are addressed across the globe.
You’ll study across a number of modules designed to give you a broad overview of all aspects of global public health training, such as epidemiology and medical statistics as well as how to perform research.
As well as compulsory modules, you’ll have a selection of optional modules to help you tailor your studies to specific interests and work balance. These will introduce you to various specialities in public health, including health behaviour, nutrition and health economics.
If you choose the full MPH (Global Health) route, you’ll take all of the compulsory modules and choose 10 credits worth of optional modules for a total of 180 credits.
If you choose the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) route, you’ll study the same core modules as MPH, but without the Public Health Research Project module, plus 10 credits worth of optional modules for a total of 120 credits.
All candidates are considered on an individual basis and we accept a broad range of qualifications. The entrance requirements below apply to 2027 entry.
