Course content

Do you want to make a difference to the health of people in global settings? Are you passionate about social justice or looking for a qualification designed to enable you to work at a senior level in health policy and practice in the UK or abroad, particularly in low-income and middle-income settings? This MSc in Global Health could be the perfect stepping stone for your career.

Global health is increasingly being framed as a major driver of development, international co-operation and diplomacy, both during and beyond health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This makes it not only a very interesting field of study, but also an incredibly important one, regardless of the setting you will work in. The MSc in Global Health course will offer you a thorough grounding in this multidisciplinary field, with the opportunity to specialise your studies if you wish later on.

The course is relevant to those working, or planning to work, in enhancing population health globally, particularly in low or middle-income settings, be this within governmental (eg ministries of health), non-governmental or intergovernmental organisations (eg WHO or UN agencies).

The course can be studied full time or part time.
