The University of Bradford

The University of Bradford is a technology university with over 50 years of cutting-edge research experience. Our research is ranked in the top 50 in the UK (HEFCE 2014) for research quality with three quarters being classed as either world-leading or internationally excellent.
Our mission is ‘Making Knowledge Work’ – making a real difference to people’s day-to-day lives is at the heart of all we do.

Public health on our undergraduate programme closely ties into our mission and is therefore highly valued as a subject to study. At the University of Bradford you’ll learn from academic and experts who are shaping the future of their sectors, and you'll learn in this stimulating environment. Our curriculum is designed with input from partners and experts, which means you’ll develop skills that are highly valued by employers – along with plenty of hands-on practical experience giving you the best possible start to your career.
 

We value our students being members of the Royal Society for Public Health as this gives them a professional link and identity to public health during their studies. We look forward to seeing the difference this link makes to the students’ learning experience, within seminar discussions about public health, and the quality of relevant knowledge applied within their assessed work.

Being a member of the Royal Society for Public Health allows me to keep up to date with the latest news and ongoing campaigns which are relevant in my lectures. Having access to the Perspectives in Public Health journal always provides me with material and references for my assignments at University, as well as leading me to other studies or data that is useful for strengthening my work.

I have also been able to register for a special interest group through RSPH which has helped me connect with other people to share ideas and learn from one another. I enjoy reading about the awards and creative projects, to see the difference people are making towards public health outcomes. As a student it provides me with knowledge, ideas and excitement for my career in Public Health once I complete my degree.

The University of Wolverhampton

The University of Wolverhampton has been offering public health programmes for over 20 years; we deliver one of the longest running and largest BSc Public Health and BSc Health Studies programmes in the UK, as well as an internationally respected Master of Public Health that can be studied on campus or online.

The public health level 6 is apprenticeship ready and students benefit from the excellent teaching team, fantastic resources and extensive connections with public health employers in the UK and overseas.

All students have the opportunity to engage in an international experience to understand how Public Health is addressed globally; currently they can engage in a 2-week study and cultural awareness field trips to either India or China, and they can engage in the annual International conference on Global Public Health. 

We have worked with RSPH to offer student memberships (subsidised by the University) for the past 3 years and students have found the resources a great help to them both during their studies and when they have been looking for employment. 

The RSPH have been fantastic partners and have assisted the University with curriculum design and content; through student membership students have been able to develop specialist interests and engage with employers.  The team at RSPH are approachable, enthusiastic and friendly, and always offer useful advice and suggestions.

I have always been interested in health issues and in the ways that people can improve their health and wellbeing. I attended an open day at the University of Wolverhampton and knew their BSc Public Health course was for me because of the links the University has with the RSPH, the subsidised student membership we receive and the placement opportunities with public health organisations and the International field trips.

I went on a University organised field trip to India last year and it was an amazing experience to see the different ways that health is addressed there.  RSPH student  membership has helped me access current information about public health issues and understand how what we learn in class is used in the real world. I hope to go on to complete the MPH and then seek work that will enable me to work with the BAME community to address their health issues.

Laura B, BSc Public Health student, The University of Wolverhampton

I wanted to pursue a career in nursing but didn't get a place so was offered a place on the BSc Public Health course at the University of Wolverhampton; I wasn't sure at first, but after my first year I now realise it is the career for me.  

I love public health - my fellow students are great and the lecturers are fantastic. We were given an opportunity to join the RSPH with free student membership and it's been a real help. The best thing about RSPH student membership is the online information, e-learning materials and the webinars.

I am hoping to go on to work with my local community to help improve public health, and have already begun to do some volunteering to help me develop my skills in the workplace.
