Course content
This pioneering two-year programme, jointly delivered by the University of Birmingham and Leiden University Medical Centre, is the first of its kind to focus on International Population Health Management. Designed to meet the evolving needs of global health systems, it equips students with the skills to tackle chronic disease, health inequalities, and resource allocation challenges.
This programme is designed to meet emerging health needs by focusing on Population Health Management - a concept endorsed by WHO and the NHS. You’ll learn to target healthcare resources effectively in diverse socioeconomic and healthcare contexts, improving population health outcomes.
This course takes a distinctive approach by emphasising Population Health Management, preparing you to design personalised care in resource-limited settings.
By integrating modules from both universities and providing exposure to UK and Dutch healthcare systems, you’ll gain a unique perspective that will broaden your ability to tackle diverse health challenges.
- You’ll be ready to confront the most critical health issues, such as disease prevention and reducing health disparities.
- This is the first programme in the world to offer a Masters in International Population Health Management.
- Delivered by academics from France, Italy, Hungary, Germany and Spain, offering an international perspective on health inequalities and how to address them.
- You’ll learn to analyse the large amounts of data available to identify those most at risk, and optimise resource allocation to where it’s needed most.
- Build expertise in predictive analytics, health economics, and implementation science, plus soft skills like communication and problem solving.
This innovative programme goes beyond public health education by focusing on Population Health Management, a critical strategy for delivering and reallocating healthcare resources to those who need them most. By studying in both the UK and the Netherlands, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how different healthcare systems operate, helping you to apply these skills to different contexts
