Careers

Graduates are currently working in Local Authorities, Public Health England, Health Education England, national and international universities and in a range of national and international public and non-governmental organisations.

We work closely with leading figures in Public Health to develop employment support and employability workshops. These workshops have been finetuned following student feedback to ensure they are relevant and impactful. The skills gained through these workshops and work opportunities that arise fit both local and overseas students, leading the way to new connections and targeted individual support to secure good jobs.

Up-to-date public health skills are at the core of our planning, and some of our core modules are unique in the tailored way they support the acquisition of these skills. For example, our first core module teaches sought after Public Health skills, which are then assessed in a multi-modal portfolio of work.

• Epidemiology

• Research methods and critical appraisal
