Course Overview

Are you looking for the skills to promote the health of populations in low, middle, and high-income settings through the development of effective health policies, services, and interventions? This MSc will give you the competencies to do this in a field that has become more complex in the past two decades with the dramatic increase in donor funding, the rise of more complex patterns of co-morbidity, emerging infectious diseases such as COVID-19, anti-microbial resistance and the impact of conflict and migration on health and health systems.

This MSc is geared to provide you with these skills to find employment in global health.

This course is particularly suited to individuals working, or planning to work, in enhancing population health in middle or low-income countries, within governmental (eg Ministry of Health), non-governmental (NGO) or intergovernmental organisations (eg WHO or UN agencies).

If you want to take a broad approach to your learning, you can enroll on our MSc Global Health. This approach offers you a thorough grounding in this multidisciplinary field and you can later decide to specialise in your studies if you wish. If you wish to develop a set of relevant practical skills that can be applied to global health programming and Interventions, you can enrol on our new MSc Applied Global Health. This degree will give you the skills and competencies you need to promote the health of populations through contextually appropriate health policies, services and interventions.

Alternatively, you can choose a more focused pathway at the outset, with either our MSc Sexual and Reproductive Health or MSc Mental Health and Psychosocial Support. You can also choose to study for one of our PgCert qualifications such as in Health Interventions in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Settings or Mental Health and Psychosocial Support. These can be a good option if you have time, work, or other commitments that would conflict with studying for a full master’s. We have deliberately designed our courses to be as flexible as possible, so you can apply for the course that best suits your career needs and later revise your choice before progressing to the dissertation stage (this is subject to you having studied the appropriate modules).
