Description

The BSc Public Heath degree at Cardiff Met will provide you with the essential knowledge and skills you need to be an effective public health practitioner and offer a wide variety of career roles in the UK or around the world.

When you graduate you’ll be able to identify and assess the health of individuals, groups and communities, and identify particularly vulnerable groups. Working with people from across a range of organisations and professional backgrounds, you’ll design, plan and apply interventions to promote and protect people’s health.

Public Health is about helping people to stay healthy and protecting them from threats to their health. Sometimes public health activities involve helping individuals, at other times they involve dealing with wider factors that have an impact on the health of many people (for example an age-group, an ethnic group, a locality, or a country). Work in public health contributes to reducing the causes of ill-health and improving people's health and wellbeing.

There are three main areas of Public Health work:

Health Protection - protecting people's health from environmental or biological threats, such as food poisoning or radiation, or by tackling the health effects of climate change in the UK or overseas
Health Improvement - improving people's health, for example by helping people quit smoking, or improving their living conditions
Healthcare Public Health - ensuring that our health and care services are the most effective, most efficient and equally accessible

Public Health issues appear regularly in the media – from growing rates of obesity to bio-terrorism and the advent of new diseases. There has never been a better time to join in the effort to promote and protect the health of populations in the UK and around the world. If you believe passionately about improving and protecting people's health and wellbeing, then public health is the career for you.
