Curriculum
Studies focus on key current environmental health concerns, and cover public health, food safety, housing, health and safety at work, and pollution management. The core modules are:
- Environmental Health Principles and Practice - A critical understanding of environmental health legal systems, risk assessment, employability skills and how they apply in practice through field visits, and input from experienced practitioners and employers.
- Food Control - Developing an understanding of food safety situations along with the skills needed to assess and control them effectively. This is through a combination of teaching and practical sessions.
- Pollution Management - Learning to understand, evaluate and mitigate aspects and processes of human activity that can cause environmental contamination of air (including noise), water and land.
- Health and Safety Management - How working environments can affect our health, safety and welfare and how we can minimise incidence and negative effects through target-based interventions.
- Housing - Looking closely at the relationship between housing, communities and health, and the risks associated with housing deficiencies.
- Introduction to Public Health - Learning how to critically analyse what determines health and illness in social, environmental and political contexts.
- Health Promotion - Evaluating approaches to tackling health inequalities within communities.
- Quantitative Health Research - Critical analysis and interpretation of epidemiological studies, in preparation for the research aspect of the course dissertation.
- Dissertation - Design and execute a planned research study based on relevant methodology within an appropriate research framework.
