Crucial to tackling it effectively requires an in-depth theoretical and practical understanding of public health principles and practice as well as health protection and health promotion. University of Glasgow Masters of Public Health scholars graduate with just such a skill set meaning that they can make an informed and significant difference to whatever public health environment they find themselves working in.
