ASRT collaborates with Warwick Medical School, at the University of Warwick, UK. In this collaboration, ASRT supports the Masters in Public Health (MPH) Programme at the University. This is an interdisciplinary degree course drawing upon expertise across a wide range of subject areas and seeks to explore the complexity of Public Health issues in the UK and internationally. The programme has an innovative MPH module, Pathways to the Public Health Workplace, that aims to complement students’ existing subject specific knowledge and skills with an opportunity to undertake a real-world project in collaboration with various organisations. Apart from receiving an academic credit, students enhance their employability and receive valuable feedback on their performance in the workplace. In the longer term both the University and ASRT benefit from the partnership and the potential the collaboration brings.
