About this course

Why should I study Global Health?
With global health inequalities at an all-time high, and issues like population growth and climate change intensifying the situation, it's clear that as an international community, we need to take action.

Specialising in global health will set you up to step up and lead, providing essential technical support, addressing the social determinants of health and decreasing the shared burden of global disease.

Boosting your skills in this critical field will give you the tools to change lives and help tackle some of the biggest challenges faced by humanity.

What will I get out of it?
This programme centres around five global health priorities, identified in close consultation with employers, experts and global health agencies:

- Addressing global health inequalities through workforce development

- Leadership in health systems improvements

- Facilitating universal health coverage

- Promoting gender equity

- Creating meaningful partnerships for global health

The MSc in Global Health will equip you with the competencies and key analytical, technical and practical skills that global health organisations need, and provide you with relevant and up-to-date knowledge to directly support ongoing global health efforts in a range of settings.

Is Global Health for me?
