What current/past students think of the MPH programme

Akeem Lawal (MPH) (Nigeria)
"The MPH programme has improved my competency in the critical appraisal and review of clinical evidence which is essential in the establishment of diagnosis of a variety of clinical conditions."

Kristen Simkus (MPH) (Canada)
"Working while studying has allowed me apply my work experience to my studies, and my studies to my work."

Alex Walter (MRes) (UK)
"It has been an excellent experience and although the MRes for me was the "academic" part of my training programme I think that many of the insights gained have had an impact on my clinical practice."
