Course Description
Our Public and Environmental Health Sciences MSc is designed for international students wishing to advance their knowledge and develop their career in public and environmental health. The course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and runs in parallel to the Environmental Health MSc.
A virtual learning platform has been introduced to allow students to identify hazards and risks within an industrial environment.
