Students study modules including Epidemiology, Health Policy, Politics and Social Justice, Global Public Health, Inequalities in Health, Economic Evaluation of Health Interventions, Social Justice and Health, Research and Evaluation Methods, and Research Design and Practice, plus a Research Project (the Dissertation).

Learning is asynchronous by default, using video lectures, discussion forums, and collaborative activities, with scheduled touchpoints for tutor interaction and peer discussion. Assessment uses coursework and examinations, and the programme culminates in a dissertation research project.
