The MPhil in Population Health Sciences (PHS) is jointly run by the Department of Public Health and Primary Care, the MRC Epidemiology Unit and the MRC Biostatistics Unit, with contributions from colleagues across the university. The MPhil PHS is a postgraduate master’s degree course that includes the academic disciplines of epidemiology, global health, health data science, infectious diseases, public health, and primary care research. The MPhil PHS, now in its fourth year, built upon and replaced the previous MPhils in Primary Care Research, Public Health, and Epidemiology, which were taught for 6, 15, and 27 years respectively.
The course is open to graduates and other qualified candidates (see entry requirements) who wish to pursue a research, practice or leadership career in population health sciences.
