120 MSc Public Health Contact: Karen Roome E: Karen.Roome@gcal.ac.uk T: +44(0)141 331 8291 W: www.caledonian.ac.uk/nmch The MSc Public Health is an on-line programme that provides opportunities for practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds to undertake postgraduate study that can enhance knowledge and skills that are of direct relevance to public health practice. The programme has a modular structure, with four modules and a Research Dissertation. Each of the modules confers 30 Scottish Higher Education points at Master’s level and the Research Dissertation confers 60 points: • The Nature and Scope of Public Health Practice • Health Protection and Improvement • Advanced Research Methods • Community Aspirations and Resources • Research Dissertation The modules offer coherent full-time and part-time study pathways that enable progression towards eligibility for the award of Postgraduate Diploma (PgD) Public Health and entry to the Research Dissertation that leads to the award of Master of Science (MSc) Public Health. They also enable students to develop knowledge and skills that are commensurate with safe and effective practice and can provide a platform for career development within the field of public health. The content of the programme, which reflects the broad spectrum of activities that are associated with public health practice, involves both academic and practice components. All academic components are delivered via Blackboard, which is the interactive e-learning system used by the university. This means that students can undertake study at times and in locations that suit each person’s circumstances. Two of the modules ‘Community Aspirations and Resources’ and ‘Advanced Research Methods’ can also be accessed by attendance supported with online activity to address the needs of students who prefer this mode of delivery. Practice-based activities associated with the module Community Aspirations and Resources are based on the national framework for public health practice that has been developed by ‘Skills for Health’. As part of the module, it is expected that the students will spend 12-15 days in practice, either in their normal place of work or in practice settings that are approved by the programme team. Applicants must hold a relevant professional qualification and/or have appropriate experience in relation to public health. Those who have successfully completed a first degree (Honours level or equivalent) are eligible to enter the programme. In considering applicants’ existing qualifications, the university’s guidelines for flexible entry (both experiential and certificated) will be taken into account. An applicant who does not have a first degree will normally undertake one or two modules as an ‘associate student’ before entering the programme. An applicant whose first language is not English, or who has not been educated wholly or mainly in the medium of English, will be expected, before commencing the programme, to demonstrate a suitable minimum level of competency in the English language.
