Can you provide information about the duration and tuition fees for public health and medicine-related programs in the UK for a Master's?
A full-time Master of Public Health in the UK takes 1 year, costing 13,000 to 15,000 pounds for home students and 16,000 to 38,000 pounds or more for international students. Clinical or medical science master's degrees such as an MMed cost international students 22,000 to 42,000 pounds or more.
How long and how much your UK public health or medicine master's costs depends on which track you choose, MPH or a clinical/medical science degree, and whether you pay home or international fees. Both tracks run 1 year full time or 2 to 3 years part time, but medical science degrees carry a noticeably higher price tag.
UK Public Health and Medicine Master's Fees
| Program | Duration | Home Fees | International Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master of Public Health (MPH) | 1 year full time, 2 to 3 years part time | £13,000 to £15,000 total | £16,000 to £38,000+ per year |
| Medicine-related master's (MMed, clinical sciences) | 1 year full time, 2 to 3 years part time | £10,000 to £18,000 total | £22,000 to £42,000+ per year |
Costs Beyond Tuition to Budget For
- London based schools such as LSHTM, King's College London, UCL, and Imperial College charge higher tuition and living costs than universities outside London.
- Budget for optional materials, printing, and mandatory health clearances or immunizations if your course involves hospital or clinical observation.
- Student visa maintenance funds are roughly £1,483 per month inside London or £1,136 per month outside London, for up to 9 months.
My Advice
If cost is your main constraint, target an MPH outside London, since it sits at the lower end of both tuition bands while still being widely recognized for public health careers. If you are already a practicing clinician, budget specifically for the higher MMed fee range and confirm whether your program's part-time schedule can actually fit around your current clinical hours.
