Course Overview

Do you want to make a difference to the health of people in low-resource settings? Are you looking for a qualification that will enable you to work at a senior level in health policy and practice in the UK or abroad, particularly in low and middle-income settings? Our flexible and highly respected range of global health courses could be the perfect stepping stone for your career.

The Institute for Global Health and Development (IGHD) at QMU is a unique academic institution. We offer a range of postgraduate courses aimed specifically at those who wish to work in health policy and practice, particularly in low and middle-income settings.

If you want to take a broad approach to your learning, you can enroll in 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 enroll in 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.

How can societies implement more effective intervention strategies? Who is responsible for initiating and then delivering the strategy in a low-income setting? The answers to most of the important questions in this field are complex and your studies will prepare you to answer them through a multidisciplinary approach. This is about gaining a truly global perspective on the state of people’s health and enhancing
your knowledge through a systematic examination of health problems and their determinants.

This course will be relevant to you if you are working, or planning to work, in enhancing population health in low-income settings or middle or low-income countries, be this within governmental (e.g. ministries of health), nongovernmental or intergovernmental organisations (e.g. WHO or UN agencies).
