About the programme
This competitive postgraduate interview explores why you want to move from individual cases or sector experience towards population-level action. The panel assesses your use of evidence, awareness of equity, ability to set realistic priorities and readiness for independent study across quantitative and qualitative subjects.
How to prepare
- Choose one public health problem and map its causes, affected groups, available evidence and possible responses.
- Review basic measures such as rates, risk and association, including why a change in recorded cases may not show a true change in disease.
- Reflect on a programme, service or policy you have encountered and what you would improve.
- Prepare a clear explanation of how the degree fits your next professional step.
- Check the programme's official course information and be ready to discuss the modules that support your goals.
Common mistakes
- Describing public health only as treating more patients at once.
- Quoting a health figure without questioning its source, denominator or collection method.
- Proposing an intervention before listening to the affected community.
- Giving career goals that do not explain why this particular degree is needed.
