Launching in September 2018, this degree looks at psychiatry and mental illness through a public health and socio-cultural lens.
There is growing recognition of rising levels of unmet mental health need across the world, right across the spectrum of low and high-income countries.
This MSc provides students with the opportunity to learn about the current trends in global mental illness and their underlying drivers, as well as examine current responses to the burden of mental illness by global, national and local actors. It will enable clinicians, policymakers, managers, activists and commissioners to think about mental health on a global scale, with an awareness of local cultural norms, and prepare graduates of the course for work in these areas.
