PEOPLES-UNI
Capacity Building in Public Health through online learning
2006-2021
Peoples-uni was established in the UK as an educational
charity to build Public Health capacity in low- to
middle-income countries (LMICs) through online learning. Using
open source software, Open Educational Resources and volunteer
tutors, the programme produced a number of successful
outcomes. This legacy website describes the history and
achievements of the programme.
Major achievements
Volunteer expert tutors from 55 countries
Students from more than 100 countries (70% from Africa)
159 Public Health master’s graduates from Peoples-uni, or
its partners Manchester Metropolitan University and Euclid
University
Many more students took individual modules or courses for
their continuing professional development including 7000
enrolments on the Peoples-uni Open Online Courses site
An active Alumni group with a number of peer reviewed
collaborative publications and a number of Alumni joining
as tutors
A set of publications in the peer reviewed literature
describing and evaluating the Peoples-uni experience of
delivering high quality and low cost Public Health capacity
building to health professionals in low- to middle-income
countries (LMICs)
Please explore other pages on this website for more details of these achievements
The future
We plan to build on these achievements and our original
objectives, in particular working with master’s level
graduates, to support global efforts to accelerate the
development of much needed public health capacity.
Peoples-uni closed in March 2021 following transfer of all its
courses to NextGenU.org – to whom enquiries for further study
should be made.
Our sincere thanks
Our sincere thanks to all the volunteers and partners who
supported us in various ways and helped show that there is an
affordable way to deliver quality education and build public
health capacity globally. We wish all of them and all the
students and alumni the best in their future plans.
