Intro

Health promotion is about enabling sustainable, healthy living for all.

This MSc course is for you if you are:

  • interested in developing a career in health improvement
  • looking to deepen or widen your knowledge and experience of public health practice
  • working in a role with a health promotion wellbeing or welfare component.

The course provides a rich understanding of the theoretical, conceptual, and real-life experience of designing and delivering health promotion projects and programmes. It will equip you with the practical skills and knowledge to work in health promotion and public health at local, national or international levels. 

You'll consider the global challenges to health promotion, linking with the Sustainable Development Goals and planetary health, including climate change. We use case studies from the UK and contrasting countries around the world to ensure relevance and suitability for students globally. 

We are one of the few universities in the UK to offer a dedicated masters programme in health promotion. It is ideal if you are interested in the practical people-facing, community engagement and implementation side of public health. The multidisciplinary and international student mix provides a lively and stimulating experience with plenty of interactive learning and sharing of ideas.

There are four study pathways leading to named awards in: 

  • Health Promotion MSc
  • International Health Promotion MSc
  • Health Promotion and Management MSc
  • Health Promotion and Education MSc.

Course content

Course structure

After the induction day, the course begins with the first core module, Principals of Health Promotion and Behaviour Change. This module provides a sound foundation in health promotion and public health systems thinking. The other core module, Strategy and Project Planning in Health is delivered in teaching semester 2.

You will also take six 20-credit modules which includes a research methods module and complete a 60-credit research dissertation. 

The combination of modules depends on the pathway you choose and will be selected in consultation with the course leader – for information on the pathways, look at the other tabs on this page.

You will learn through a mixture of taught sessions, tutorials, interactive online sessions, group work, independent study and placement related activities. Most 20-credit modules are delivered over five to seven 7 full-days spread over two weeks, with follow up assignment support or online action learning sets. The dates are set well in advance so that you can plan your study schedule and time on campus.

The 20-credit Community Placement module runs alongside your study period depending on the location, timing, and nature of your placement. You will be supported to identify a 65+hour voluntary placement in a not-for-profit organisation in the broader health promotion practice community. Opportunities exist locally in Sussex and further afield, including overseas, depending on your chosen pathway.

You will be taught by a range of university academics, researchers and health promotion practitioners, including our MSc graduates, who work in public health roles. You'll also benefit from contributions from our visiting professors who include Dr Suzanne Jackson from Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, and Professor Albert Lee from School of Public Health at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The course is flexible and allows you to exit with a postgraduate certificate (PGCert) after passing three modules (60 credits) or a postgraduate diploma (PGDip) after passing six modules (120 credits). You must complete the 60-credit research dissertation to qualify for the MSc.

Health sciences postgraduate education
This course is part of our postgraduate education programme. The programme allows you to sign up for one module at a time and build your qualification as you go. It also gives you access to interdisciplinary modules across a broad selection of health and social science subjects.

Syllabus 

Core syllabus 

You will take the following core modules whichever pathway you choose:

  • Principles of Health Promotion (20 credits)
  • Strategy and Project Planning in Health (20 credits)
  • A research methods module chosen from the PG programme (20 credits)
  • Dissertation (60 credits)

See individual route tabs for information on other module requirements.

Dissertation

The final dissertation is a major piece of work and an opportunity for you to fully investigate a subject you are interested in. The dissertation can be via literature-based research, small-scale empirical research or analysis of existing data.

You will be supported by your tutors to develop a dissertation proposal and then allocated a dissertation supervisor to guide you through your research work. Students are encouraged to write up their dissertation research as draft publication-ready papers, so that they can more readily publish high quality work after completion of their MSc.

Option modules

The range of option modules include:

From our School of Sports and Health Sciences postgraduate education programme:

  • Culture, Community and Wellbeing 
  • Critical Approaches to Enabling Behaviour Change for Health Improvement
  • Health Professional as an Educator

Teaching and assessment 

The pattern of module delivery varies, with some modules taught five days in succession - Monday to Friday. Others may run for two consecutive days a month apart with a final assessment day in the following month. Most taught sessions are for a full day on campus with dates set far in advance so that you can plan ahead.

This intensive pattern of delivery is designed to make it easier for part-time students to book time away from work. Some students choose to commute to Brighton and stay overnight when a module is running.

Twenty-credit modules involve around 200 hours of study time, typically arranged as 30 - 40 hours contact time with lecturers, independent guided and individual study, and work on assignments.

The variety of assessment methods is designed to reflect the skills and outputs that might be required in a working environment. These include interactive lectures, small group discussions, case studies, problem-based learning in response to public health triggers, and assessments by presentation, video recordings, oral response to scenarios, as well as formal written critical reports. The variety of assessment methods is designed to reflect that skills and outputs that might be required in a working environment, such as giving a talk, presenting a bid or writing a briefing paper.

Each module is assessed separately and includes formative assignments that provide you with feedback on your progress as you prepare for summative assessments You are able to book individual or group tutorials with each module leader for support with working on your assignments.

Your course leader is responsible for your overall education and course progression. You will also be assigned a personal academic tutor (PAT) from the health promotion course team to support and guide you on all aspects unrelated to the content of any individual modules, future careers and making the most of your postgraduate study experience.

In addition to the formal teaching you will have access to ad hoc extracurricular seminars both within the school and through forums such as the Brighton and Sussex Universities Food Network, and the Institute of Development Studies which operate across University of Brighton, Brighton and Sussex Medical School and University of Sussex.

Health promotion pathway  

The Health Promotion pathway is our most popular route and offers the widest choice of option modules. It requires no previous experience of study or work in health promotion practice so is suitable if you are changing career and need to develop and strengthen your expertise and knowledge of public health.

If you are already working in public health and want to develop both your knowledge of education and management theory and practice this pathway would enable you to take modules from both the management and education strands.

As well as the core modules you will take:

  • Community Placement: Developing Health Promotion Competencies (20 credits)
  • two option modules - the course leader can advise you about which modules would be suitable based on your background, experience and interests.

International pathway 

The International Health Promotion pathway provides an opportunity to learn through comparison. You will compare and contrast how context influences the way that health promotion operates in your home and host country.

It is suitable for international students who want to maximise the opportunity to learn from their experience of living and studying in the UK, and for students from the UK who have experience of employment, volunteering or residency in a different country or extensive cross-cultural employment /voluntary experience in the UK and what to deepen their learning from this exposure.

The community placement module volunteering is carried out in a country other than your own - for international students this would be a UK placement.

Your dissertation may include strong elements of international comparison such as examining what happens in your home versus your host country. 

As well as the core modules you will take:

  • Community Placement: Developing Health Promotion Competencies (20 credits)
  • One option module (20 credits)

A global or cross cultural option module (20 credits) such as:

  • Culture, community and wellbeing 
  • Global Public Health 
  • Nutrition in Public Health
Health professions discussion group

Management pathway 

The management pathway expands your capacity to work at a managerial level in health promotion. You should have a high level of pre-existing knowledge, experience and competence in health promotion as you will take most of your modules from the management strand.

Your dissertation will be on an aspect of health promotion of your choice which includes a management perspective.

As well as the core modules you will take:

  • Community Placement: Developing Health Promotion Competencies (20 credits)

Two 20-credit option manage modules such as:

  • Leadership and Service Development in Health and Social Care
  • Managing change
BrightonUni_Oct15_033

Education pathway 

The Health Promotion and Education pathway is for practicing health professionals who wish to gain skills, knowledge and behaviours to be an effective leader of education within practice, or for academics who wish to work in a healthcare education context. It is for you if your expertise and job roles include, or are expected to include, a strong curriculum design and delivery of education to other health or allied health professionals.

To study on this pathway you'll need to have prior experience of and/or study in health promotion, and have previous experience of delivering teaching or training courses to health professionals or other colleagues in practice.

Students on this pathway share modules with health professionals studying for a PGCert in leading practice education. UK students will be able to gain formal recognition as a D2-Fellow under the UK Higher Education Academy Fellowship scheme. Fellowship of the UKHEA is increasingly recognised as an alternative to a PGCert in employment in higher education.

As well as the core modules you will take:

  • Health Professional as an Educator (20 credits)
  • Enhancing Engagement in Practice Education (20 credits)
  • Learning Education Design in Practice Education (20 credits)

Full-time/ part-time 

Full-time

Students studying full-time tend to take three modules in each of the two teaching semesters, and work on their dissertation from June to September. 

Some students prefer to submit in December, depending on the nature of the dissertation, so that they have more time to research and write up and take a short break in the summer. Dissertation supervision would continue to be provided via online supervision where this is the case.

Full-time study usually takes 12–15 months - this can be longer if there are study breaks due to illness or where there is the need to repeat assignment submissions. 

Often UK-based students who start the course full-time gain employment in health promotion after taking the core modules and switch to part-time study.

Part-time

Many of our UK-based students study part-time, to fit alongside their work and home commitments.

Typically, part-time students take three or four modules in the first two years and complete their dissertation in their third year.

This gives students plenty of flexibility and time to identify a suitable community placement and to work on their dissertation.

Who this course is for 

Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some are professionals already working in public health or wellbeing roles, and some have an interest in health and wellbeing and looking to develop this further to find employment in the health improvement sector.

The course is ideal for those working in roles which include a health promotion component who want to deepen their knowledge and theoretical understanding and have an opportunity to develop a research or specialist area.

Our students include health and wellbeing advisers, practice nurses, social care professionals, pharmacists, school teachers, personal trainers and voluntary workers.

We also welcome professionals looking to change careers and follow their interest or passion for aspects of health and wellbeing. Backgrounds in marketing and communications and counselling are particularly suited to health promotion.

The course offers a strong career progression for recent graduates in degrees which examine people, populations and behaviours (including psychology, sociology, social geography, marketing, communications) or which already include elements of health promotion such as pharmacy and the sport sciences.

Students with other academic backgrounds are also welcome but will need to demonstrate relevant voluntary or other practical experience.

How this course is delivered

How will my course be taught?
For the academic year that starts in September 2022 we’re planning for all students to be taught face-to-face on campus, enhanced by some online learning.

Students who started their course with us in 2021 are on campus for some face-to-face learning including tutorials, workshops, laboratory classes and studio sessions. They are also taking part in off-campus learning activities such as placements, field trips and study visits. And all of our campus facilities – libraries, learning spaces, restaurants, gyms and more are open.

Like all universities we are following government guidance and we are monitoring the pandemic very closely. Should Public Health advise it we have robust plans in place for additional safety measures to be introduced to enable everyone to continue learning on campus, and, as a last resort, for students to continue their learning remotely.

We will update you regularly on our teaching plans for the next academic year as you progress your application with us.

When does my course start?
The 2022 academic year begins on Monday 26 September 2022. Teaching for most courses starts the following week.

Many education courses, some health science courses including Medicine, and some postgraduate business courses have an earlier start date. Check your offer letter for the start date of your course.

Careers

You will be prepared for a career as a health promotion specialist working in health improvement or public health practice in the public, not-for-profit, voluntary or commercial sector.

Employment and self-employment opportunities in this area are growing, hastened by the impact of lifestyles and life systems changed by COVID-19 and the need to address health inequalities.

Typical roles include:

  • health improvement practitioner
  • programme coordinators or commissioners for public health
  • health project coordinators for voluntary sector organisations
  • young peoples’ welfare or sexual health advisers in a college or primary prevention setting
  • health and wellbeing advisers. 

You could also work to design, implement and deliver interventions to support smoking cessation, reduce loneliness, increase vaccination uptake, promote healthier living, enhance sexual and reproductive health, or improve mental health and wellbeing.

The course equips you with many project coordination and advocacy skills that are transferable to a wide range of health-related fields, including policy research, campaigning and community engagement.
