Students who have only recently completed their first degree or other professional training will be well aware of how to study. For others, however, this may be their first experience of formal teaching and learning after being away from formal study for some years and they may wonder how well they will readapt to studying in the MPH course, which is intensive. There is a lot to cover in a short time and a high standard is expected. Although knowledge of the basic facts in public health is essential, at this level we expect to see evidence of independent critical thought and real understanding of concepts.
To help students study we provide introductory sessions during orientation and advice and support from your academic supervisor and the MPH Tutor.
