A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.

Your career
The relevance of management and governance in international public health has been recognised as one of the greatest challenges facing governments in developing and newly-democratised nations.
In developed countries, the challenges of running large health and social care services requires an understanding of both public sector policy and strategic management, a combination that cannot be obtained from a business degree such as an MBA.
The MPH in Management and Leadership has been designed to provide its graduates with all the skills and knowledge they require to take up employment in the following sectors:
- healthcare and public health organisations in developed and developing countries
- governmental organisations
- voluntary organisations, NGOs and development agencies
- commercial health care or health service providers
The course is also suited to those wishing to undertake a research degree or to take up a post in an academic setting.
Entry requirements
2:1 honours degree, or a medical degree or significant experience in public health.
Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.
Fees and funding
- Home (2022 annual fee) : £10,800
- Overseas (2022 annual fee) : £24,400
The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you’re studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study.
