Public health faces increasingly supranational and borderless challenges to population health and wellbeing. The speed of global transmission of infectious diseases, the global spread of chronic diseases, the health impacts of war, as well as political change, economic failure and the threats posed by climate change and rising antimicrobial resistance, epitomise the need for public health to adopt a global focus. The mission of public health is to understand and alleviate the causes of poor health among populations. This is achieved through developing effective public health policies and interventions, in addition to conducting research in global public health issues and educating future public health leaders. This degree equips you with the spectrum of theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to be a valuable addition to the global public health workforce.
