We are excited to announce that the curriculum of our MSc Public Health course has been awarded accreditation by the Agency for Public Health Education Accreditation (APHEA).
The University of Sunderland in London’s Senior Lecturer and Programme Manager for Postgraduate Healthcare and Nursing, Madhini Sivasubramanian, tells us more.
“This is a very prestigious honour. We could not be prouder of everyone in the department and across the University that put so much time and effort into making the MSc Public Health course what it is today.
APHEA is a leading organisation in the public health industry, aimed at improving the quality of education throughout Europe and the world.
They accredit, or officially recognise, higher education organisations like the University of Sunderland in London, for their high-quality teaching and research.
APHEA accreditation aims to support the continued improvement of education and training of people going into the public health workforce.
