This programme is for experienced public health practitioners, nurses and midwives. Related areas of study include: health promotion, environmental health, health protection, health visiting, and nursing and midwifery.
The programme content will provide you with a critical awareness of health protection, health promotion and community development. It will also enhance your knowledge and skills with regard to the importance of health policy, leadership and management.
In addition, the MSc public health practice course will help to develop your skills of communication, expose you to key concepts that underpin public health practice, and empower you through a programme of role transition, so that you can participate equally as a member of a multi-professional team.
There are two pathways on the MSc public health programme: the generic pathway and the specialist pathway. Both pathways are offered on a full-time or part-time basis.
The specialist pathway on the MSc public health practice course leads to a career as a health visitor or a school nurse. The generic pathway can lead to a variety of roles such as: senior health promotion specialist, health improvement manager, HIV co-ordinator, emergency planning manager and others.
This specialist pathway can only be undertaken by registered nurses or midwives. It is funded through NHS sponsorship and is only available through pre-purchased NHS contracted places. University applications can be made between January and March each year, but places will be conditional on obtaining NHS sponsorship.
A growing range of postgraduate-level options are offered by the faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Southampton. These courses are carefully designed in order to meet the standards of professional bodies and employers.
