Health and Life Sciences Department of Social Work and Public Health This highly successful and innovative MSc in Public Health welcomes UK, EU and international applicants from a wide range of professions. The principles underlying this course are that the health of communities is the concern of a wide group of professionals, that health is related to a variety of factors, including individual biology and genetics, socio-economic factors, environmental factors and behavioural factors, and that good health is a right, not a privilege. Society is made up of people of different races, nationalities, abilities, ages, sexual identities, religions, beliefs and lifestyles. Inequalities in health status within and between communities is unjust and different professions and agencies must and can work together to overcome this injustice.
