First of all, the course introduction
About two-thirds of the courses are the same as the Master of Epidemiology course, which enables students to fully understand the key sciences supporting public health practice. This course uses local quantitative method and its application in solving public health problems. It covers most of the courses in Part A examination of the British Institute of Health. Throughout the course, students can make use of the research expertise of the Institute of Public Health and the broader professional knowledge of the university.
This course is very suitable for graduate students who want to engage in public health research, graduate students who want to engage in public health practice and have practical experience in the field of health, and registered students and professional trainees who have not completed the multi-functional labor relations inspection in Part A of the School of Public Health.
It is hoped that on the basis of public health practice, public health professionals will have a more comprehensive understanding of etiology and applied epidemiology and their application in solving public health problems. The course adopts a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, practical exercises, one-on-one guidance and autonomous learning. This level changed from basic to advanced in three semesters.
Second, learning outcomes.
At the end of the course, each student will have the following skills:
Have a full understanding of the basic theory of epidemiology and be able to apply it in practical environment;
Be able to identify, synthesize and comment on relevant published research literature;
Have the necessary skills to analyze public health problems, including:
Choose appropriate measures to describe the health status of the population and groups;
Choose appropriate methods to compare and rank public health problems;
Quantitative attribution of public health problems to their changeable (hypothetical) causes;
Assess the possible benefits of modifying causal exposure;
Quantifying the uncertainty of the quantity of public health benefits.
A key method has been developed to evaluate the research and analysis work of oneself and others;
Understand the experience of health and disease and the sociological point of view of the evolution and operation of health and medical institutions;
Understand the methods needed to control the environment and infectious hazards;
Understand the principles involved in the design and implementation of health promotion plan;
Understand the principles of organization and management of health services and plan the future development of health services;
Understand the principles involved in health economic assessment and its protection and restoration services;
Understand the main legal and moral principles related to public health work.
Third, teaching methods.
There are about 24 hours of contact time per week (including lectures, exercises and group discussions). These are usually carried out in intensive training four days a week. Under normal circumstances, one day of self-study is conducted every week. The course adopts a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, practical exercises, one-on-one guidance and autonomous learning. This level changed from basic to advanced in three semesters. Students can pursue their interests and broaden their horizons by studying papers at the end of each Michael Festival and Lent. Please refer to our website for detailed information about all aspects of the Master of Public Health.
One-on-one supervision students will receive the support of the course director throughout the year and receive guidance from specific disciplines. University graduate tutors provide personal counseling and pastoral support. Seminars and Courses We encourage students to attend Bradford Dekheel Seminar Series, Strangeways Seminar Series, MRC Epidemiology Unit Seminar, and they can also attend seminars organized by wider universities. Lectures These are the main features of course teaching, which run through every semester.
There are about 24 hours of contact time per week (including lectures, exercises and group discussions). Practice these are part of the overall teaching of the course, and group teaching these are part of the overall teaching of the course. Periodical Club Periodical clubs led by students meet with student organizations regularly. These are part of the course assignments.
Fourth, the paper requirements
Throughout Michael Festival and Lent, students can get regular support, guidance and feedback from the course director. Students get the guidance of the course tutor when choosing the topic of research paper, and then get regular support, guidance and feedback from the thesis tutor. In regular lectures, students will receive feedback on their changing ideas about regular papers and final research papers. Students get feedback on Michael Day and Lent through informal assessment (or "mock" exams). During practice, group work and class discussion, students will also receive informal feedback from teachers and classmates on a regular basis. Students will provide feedback after each lecture throughout the school year.
The length of the paper should not exceed 20,000 words, and it should be completed within the time limit at the end of the course.
Two papers of no more than 3000 words are required.
Two three-hour written documents, each of which may cover all the research fields specified in the syllabus, will be conducted at the end of the course.
