Subject Overview

Population Health addresses health outcomes that affect a particular population.
One important aim is to reduce health inequities or disparities among different population groups, which are in part due to factors such as housing, environment, and income. These are just some of the determinants of health.
If making a difference is something you are passionate about, Population Health could be for you.
Population Health prepares students with the theory and skills to successfully analyse the factors that contribute to a population’s health and wellbeing. Staff within the School of Population Health bring a range of skills and experiences to the subject.
