Health Promotion and Public Health PgCert/PgDip/MSc

Developing the knowledge and expertise for effective public health practice in a rapidly changing world.

PGCert/PGDip Students will be accepted with a degree in a health related topic from an institution approved by the University. This can include a broad range of topics including public health, environmental health, sports or health sciences as well as bio-medical sciences and nursing. Applicants without a health related degree but with a minimum of 12 months experience in public health, health promotion, community development or wider health roles will also be considered. MSc Candidates will normally progress from the Postgraduate Diploma in Health Promotion and Public Health. Candidates who hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Promotion, Public Health, Population Health or a Postgraduate Diploma in Specialist Community Public Health Nursing from Ulster or equivalent from another University, with a mark profile equivalent to that required of Postgraduate Diplomas in Health Promotion and Public Health of Ulster, as evidenced by a transcript, may be admitted directly to the MSc phase of the course.

Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate their competency in English written and spoken English through the achievement of an IELTS (academic) score of 6 with no less than 5.5 individual band scores of speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Ulster recognises a number of other English language tests and comparable IELTS equivalent scores.
