Hi Phoebe
I'm doing an MSc Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Pros of the course at the school
- plenty of modules to choose from - either further your interest in an area, or pick topics new to you. There are 5 streams: general, health promotion, environment and health, health economics, health services management, health services research. I think if you choose what you're interested in, then the world is your oyster in regards to job opportunities. The school is world-renowned and respected - so no issues with the masters not being recognised! School is central London - many libraries at your disposal, student central+energybase literally around the corner.

Cons - too many modules to choose from??
- as alleycat said, it depends what you're trying to get out of the course..?
