Course content

How do we get communities to identify what they need? How do we empower groups and populations to support and promote good health from within? Is there a better way to advocate for society’s most vulnerable and underserved?

On our Global Public Health Leadership MPH, you’ll explore global questions in rigorous detail. You’ll look at ways to build leadership in different settings and discover innovative ways to promote better health in the community. This course is about taking new ideas and concepts, putting them into action and finding ways to mobilise initiatives from the ground up.

This course is taught entirely online so you can study alongside work commitments. You will have constant academic support, be involved in a community of other students, and be able to access all your reading materials online.

Whether you’re interested in improving public health on a global level, or looking to further an existing career in public health services, this course will give you the expertise to get you there.
