  Programme description
  
  This programme is run jointly by Queen Mary, University of London and City University. This highly practical programme aims to enable you to develop the skills and knowledge to become a leader in public health, health economics or food policy and practice. By the end of the programme, you will also have the opportunity to cover the majority of the skills and knowledge required for the MFPHM part 1 examination. We believe that this programme is the only one of its kind in the UK and one of only two in Europe. It offers students from a wide range of disciplines the opportunity to study practical aspects of public health with a strong emphasis on urban renewal, food policy or health economics.
