Most of our graduates in environmental health work as Environmental Health Officers in local government although an increasing number are finding employment in central government and the private sector. We are currently developing a Public Health pathway, which will provide exciting opportunities for applicants wishing to concentrate on public health issues. Since 1992, our final year students have won two gold medals and two bronze medals in the Ronald Williams Awards, given by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health for the best environmental health students in England and Wales. All full-time students are enrolled onto the four year integrated route where they spend the equivalent of 48 weeks with a local authority undertaking practical training. There is the opportunity to transfer to the non-integrated route for those students who decide not to undertake practical training with a local authority.
Similar conditions apply to part-time students.
