This module is recommended for students in MSc Public Health. 

It builds on work undertaken in Issues in Public Health (1123), Basic Epidemiology (2001), Basic Statistics for Public Health & Policy (1121), Principles of Social Research (1104) and Introduction to Health Economics (1103) in Term 1 which students are expected to have studied. Whilst some non-compulsory modules (e.g. Health Services (1107) and Health Care Evaluation, 1400) may add useful background information, such knowledge is not assumed. 

Part-time MSc PH students are recommended to take this module in year two of their programme, and those wishing to take it in year one should have completed Issues in Public Health (1123) before commencing this module. Non-MSc PH students wishing to opt for Principles and Practice of Public Health (1608) are expected to have taken Issues in Public Health (1123) and Basic Epidemiology (2001).

External applicants need to demonstrate knowledge of, and familiarity with, the core principles of Public Health before being accepted into the module.
