Global Public Health MSc

Explore global approaches to public health and their increasing impact on global security with a Master’s in Global Public Health.

Global attitudes to public health have never been more significant. Migration, inequality, and the global economy have changed how we think about health and illness. As a result, tackling public health issues now needs to be viewed on a global scale. This course offers you a rich and varied environment to explore the complex public health issues relevant to a global audience. Anyone with an undergraduate degree and/or relevant work experience is encouraged to apply.

Whether you want to further your knowledge in your existing field or you're looking for a qualification to start a new career, this course can be tailored to suit your needs. You can study a generic MSc in Global Public Health or take one of four endorsed routes: in Child and Maternal Health, Communicable and Non-communicable Diseases, Ethics and Human Rights, or Migration, Culture and Health.
