Are you passionate about getting health messages out to the wider society? Do you want to see large populations lead healthier, fuller lives? 

With this course, you’ll learn how to protect, promote, and improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities in the UK and abroad.

The knowledge, skills, and experience you gain on this course will enable you to pursue a broad, non-clinical, public health career in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

This course is also being offered at our partner institute in Oxford, Ruskin College. See BSc (Hons) Public Health at Ruskin.

Learn about the social, cultural, economic and political factors that affect health as well as identify health patterns and trends in the health and wellness of individuals, neighbourhoods and populations.

You will be able to empower individuals, families and societies to make healthy lifestyle changes through effective verbal, written, audio-visual, social media presentation, and communication methods.

The University provides an excellent volunteering service with opportunities in public health-related charities and not-for-profit organisations.

You can also develop wider skills such as taking part in organising and taking part in real-world health promotion such as a World AIDS day flash mob and a student-led health conference seminar.
