Unequal health outcomes between neighbourhoods and communities are the problem this BSc (Hons) Public Health with Foundation Year trains you to tackle. Determinants of health, social policy, and planning skills for improvement, protection and healthcare services follow a preparatory undergraduate year at Poplar. Weekday teaching suits applicants who can be on campus in east London; September intake options appear in key facts. If you already meet direct Public Health entry, open the sibling without foundation rather than this preparatory route. Poplar weekday teaching is the east London base for this public health route. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.
