This MSc draws together research and evidence from across numerous disciplines to provide you with the skills required to approach and tackle health equity and inequalities globally.
You will benefit from research-driven teaching, delivered by world-leading academics with extensive global networks and partnerships. The health challenges and solutions in populations are nearly always complex. To address these, you will be taught a range of global and public health disciplines including epidemiology, social sciences, health systems, as well as the design, implementation and evaluation of health programmes.
You will learn advanced skills and approaches to innovate effective, equitable and sustainable solutions. You will also learn to work collaboratively with a range of key stakeholders, from affected communities and populations to policymakers. We offer a wide range of optional modules so you can tailor your degree to match your professional aspirations.
This degree equips you with the interdisciplinary knowledge and practical skills needed to analyse and address complex global health challenges. You will develop the ability to apply different disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, evaluate evidence, and design effective, equitable health programmes. Alongside strong communication, presentation, project management and policy analysis skills, you gain experience translating theory into practice. You will also benefit from engaging with global health leaders and an extensive alumni network, enhancing your professional insight and connections across the sector.
