its a broad programme, more epidemiological. There isnt a nutrition component. My background is mental health and there is an opportunity to tailor modules to suit this area of public health via attachment to the Public Health Observatory in the North East. Ive been brushing up on my statistics (dreading this). Did your course have a high statistical component, or was it just in the quantitative research methods module? (up)

PS. I start in October this year.

Im doing mine part time over two years, and am wanting to find out about the workload/pace in general. I also work part time and have One year old twin girls, so this will be an interesting challenge. Im also keen to get a good grade and am keen to know if you found you had to work much harder than you did for your first degree? How does an MSc compare to a BSc? Thanks:-)

Can I ask how you found the course? and did you enter a specific field of clinical practice after completion?

Is this still open? lol, think i'll keep it going some more

Hi all,
Im about to start an MSc in Public Health and wonder if anyone has any advice about how to get ahead? Is anyone else studying this currently and how are you finding things? I'm apprehensive about the workload compared with my BSc and am keen to find out how you all cope? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Also is anyone else studying in the North East UK e.g Durham or Newcastle?
