About the training

Our BSc Public Health Sciences programme offers an integrated learning experience in an interdisciplinary setting. It provides training in the range of skills involved in keeping people healthy and preventing disease, including:

 

  • Assessing the health and well-being of populations;
  • Investigating complex public health problems such as obesity, HIV/AIDS and the impact of COVID-19;
  • Assessing the health impact of policy at local, national, and global levels;
  • Communicating effectively with colleagues in public health and the wider health system, as well as with society at large.

 

The inclusion of 1 - 2 elective modules per semester in the areas of health sociology, human rights law, biochemistry, etc allows the student to tailor their learning to their particular interests.

 

This degree in Public Health Sciences is one of the few public health undergraduate degrees in Ireland. We offer an integrated learning experience, in an interdisciplinary environment, that produces graduates who are passionate about public health!
