Course summary

This is a collaborative programme taught by the Centre for Global Public Health, and the Centre for Psychiatry. As a student of this programme you will consider issues of mental health within the context of culture. As a mental health professional, your learning will take place within a broader public health curriculum that covers: basic epidemiology and statisticsan understanding of health systems policy, including health financing and human resource policyan introduction to the social determinants of healthmedical anthropologyan understanding of research, evidence and epistemologyYou will go on to study cultural and global perspectives in mental health care. Much mental health research and clinical practice in the UK is still Eurocentric in its approach and in its research findings and does not always fully consider the cultural background of the patients it seeks to help. In a globalised world, mutual understanding and respect are essential, and you will gain insights from anthropology, sociology and geography as well as psychiatry and psychology.Finally, you will complete a dissertation on a topic of your choice in the field of mental health care, mental health policy or public mental health.
