thanks mochemoseo for your advice.Back in Australia I worked as a pharmacist.took 1-2yrs off to come to UK to do some 'soul searching' and also do a postgrad course.PH came to mind as graduates seem to have more transferable skills & knowledge, as opposed to a pharmacist.Our skills/knowledge are somewhat confined to the 'pharmacy field', if you know what i mean.To be honest the thought of doing PH scares me a bit,I've tried looking up info on PH but all I've gathered is just a scratch of the surface of what PH is all about.really appreciate the 'insider' advice you gave
I've also tried looking up for postgrad courses other than PH that can complement my pharmacy degree, didnt find many-nutrition was probably another option.Maybe you know of other pharmacist like me?

Hi, am planning to do Uni Manchester's MPH (distance learning).Does anyone know if this Uni's MPH is good?I read from other poster's that LSHTM(School of Hygiene..)is really good, but it's too expensive for me.Uni Manchester has a good reputation but not sure of their MPH.Is an MPH something that is alright to do via distance learning?I should think it's not a problem but would like to hear other's opinion.Any advice given is much appreciated.

Some posters also wrote that they are worried abt job prospects after completing their MPH.I've been doing abit of researching on the internet and it seems that Public Health is a big thing-now and in the future, and career prospects are really good.Perhaps they find it difficult to find jobs in PH being advertised as the job title isnt as clear cut, eg "Public Health Specialist required" unlike, say an advertisemnt for a Pharmacist.Job titles for a public health graduate are so varied-eg."Epidemiologist","Health Educator","Health Economist"...Any comments on this from other PH posters? Thanks in advance.
