Course Summary

Overview

Public health professionals explore health in different communities, ensuring people have a better quality of life. They also work to provide interventions that empower communities and individuals to improve health. Study at Oxford Brookes to develop the insight and understanding for a rewarding career in public health.

Throughout this course you’ll look at how health is related to individual biology and genetics. You’ll explore the behavioural, social and environmental factors that affect public health. And you’ll look at ways to gather and examine evidence, and see how your findings can be put into practice to make a difference in society.

This is not just a course for those with a clinical background. It’s suitable for anyone interested in working to improve and support the wellbeing and health of wider communities.

Whether you’re interested in improving the lives of society’s most vulnerable, or furthering your career in public health services, we want to help you make a difference.

Career prospects

Graduates of our Public Health MPH develop a vast amount of expertise, allowing them to pursue a range of careers in public health. You’ll be able to further existing careers in areas of health care such as nursing, but will also be able to enter the public health sector within areas such as:
