Overview

In this Public Health Policy module we'll explore ideological frameworks that influence organisation perspectives and policy making. There will be an emphasis on the policy process and assessment of policy impacts. We'll consider:

  • the context and techniques involved in global public health policy development
  • the factors influencing evidence-based public health policy
  • its impact on the health and wellbeing of specific populations and groups.

You will be assessed 100% through coursework. You can take this module as a standalone module of 200 hours over 12 weeks or as part of a programme of study.
