Introducción
Las políticas y la toma de decisiones de salud pública tienen un impacto en todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas. Esto se vio claramente durante la pandemia de Covid-19. Quienes informan y actúan sobre esas decisiones son personas altamente capacitadas y capacitadas que trabajan en funciones de salud pública. Los profesionales de la salud pública trabajan en iniciativas comunitarias, nacionales y mundiales, en la mejora de la salud, la prevención de enfermedades y la planificación de los servicios de salud. Algunos interactúan directamente con las comunidades para promover la salud y prestar servicios. Otros trabajan entre bastidores, apoyando el funcionamiento general de los programas, las políticas y la investigación de salud pública. Lo que comparten es una pasión por apoyar la salud y el bienestar de las comunidades y un fuerte compromiso con la justicia social.

Plan de estudios
This course can help you become part of that powerful workforce, helping to find solutions to community and global health issues. Your reasons for choosing a career in public health will be as individual as you are. Whatever your starting point, and wherever your ambitions lie, this Masters course will help you to develop specific skills and competencies in public health practice, as well as key ‘boundary crossing’ competencies like leadership, communication and systems thinking. You will emerge not only with a comprehensive understanding of public health theories but also with the ability to effect positive change in communities.
Course objectives
This course aims to produce highly skilled public health practitioners and leaders. It will allow you to develop your own specialisms and areas of interest, while reflecting on the role of public health in improving the lives of communities and populations. Through your studies, you’ll learn how to:
- analyse and apply public health theory and approaches to a range of key areas;
- gain first-hand insight into the skills and methods used by researchers, practitioners and policymakers;
- develop practical and transferable skills, including communication, research methods, critical appraisal, and the development of recommendations for policy and practice.
A distinctive MPH Masters course
This multidisciplinary course is founded on the belief that improving population health and reducing health inequalities is vital to creating a better society. It combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills, working in collaboration with global experts and third sector partners, to develop your expertise and understanding of public health practice, research and policy.
Our course has a strong focus on the social impact of public health policy: investigating how society can tackle health inequalities, exploring the role of public health advocacy in driving change, and considering the relationship between grassroots experiences and the policies that shape interventions. There is also a strong focus on public health practice, helping you develop the discipline specific skills and boundary-spanning competencies that are most relevant to current and future careers in public health, through individual study and collaborations with other students and staff. Our curriculum is aligned with both the UK Public Health Skills and Knowledge Framework and the European Agency for Public Health Education Accreditation.
Research
The MPH course is delivered with close support from Stirling University’s Institute of Social Marketing and Health (ISMH). For over 40 years, the ISMH has provided world-leading research on public health policy with a particular focus on the role of commercial drivers in shaping public health outcomes. You will benefit from being taught by researchers working closely with this highly regarded and influential research unit.
