This 1-year (full-time) or 2-year (part-time) Master of Arts (MA) in Public Health is designed for individuals enthusiastic about multidisciplinary public health, who wish to act as change agents across various sectors nationally and internationally. The 180-credit course is taught from a social rather than a medical perspective, focusing on the strategic and international elements of public health, environment, and sustainable development.

Core modules cover concepts of health and healing, public health, sustainability and community, policy and practice in multidisciplinary public health, research methods, and the international politics of health. Students can choose to complete a Dissertation or opt for two modules: "Professional Practice in Public Health" and "Research Project" instead. The program emphasizes linking theory to practice through practical and simulated experiences, guest speakers from the public health field, and potential placement opportunities with partners like Nottingham City Council's Public Health Team. Taught on the Clifton Campus in the state-of-the-art Health and Allied Professions Centre.
