MPH Master of Public Health
University of Manchester
Course Overview
Manchester's MPH is a one-year programme inside the Division of Population Health, Health Services Research and Primary Care — combining a quantitative core (epidemiology, biostatistics, health economics) with applied modules in global health, health policy, communicable disease control and qualitative research. The programme closes with a 12-week research dissertation supervised by an active researcher.
A pragmatic fit for Sri Lankan medical graduates (MBBS), Ministry of Health professionals, and public-sector nurses who want UK postgraduate qualification recognised by NHS trusts, WHO regional offices, and global NGOs. Fees are fully inclusive of tuition, administration and computational costs — no hidden lab or college charges.
