Public and Environmental Health incorporates areas of study that all fall under the umbrella term; public health. Environmental Health Practitioners (EHP) must be able to make sense of complex situations from the natural and man-made worlds to arrive at judgements and devise intervention strategies that are rational, transparent and defendable.
The FdSc in Public and Environmental Health will provide you with a sound general knowledge of the natural and human-made worlds and their systems, establishing the context in which different stressors impact on humans and how this requires environmental health intervention in four technical 'Intervention Fields' - Food Safety, Housing and Health, Health and Safety and Environmental Protection - with a fifth - 'Public Health' - holding a special place. We also seek to explore particular fields of professional engagement, many vital to the process of identifying hazards, elucidating risk, assessing risk and interpreting compliance against standards, guidelines and other legislative tools, often embedded within a strong Work Based Learning element of the course. |
