Each week you will attend three live online lectures and then devote around 12-15 hours to independent study, reading, discussion posts and completing projects, essays or case studies, often collaborating in small groups. The routine combines theoretical input with practical tasks such as health impact assessments, policy analysis and community engagement activities.

The first semester starts with the Principles of Public Health Practice module (10 credits), which introduces health protection, health improvement and service quality and develops skills in health impact assessment, advocacy and leadership. A distinctive aspect of this programme is its fully online, 100 % continuous-assessment format, meaning no campus attendance is required and assessment is based on projects and group work rather than formal examinations.
