New online Masters to tackle the global health challenges of tomorrow
Applications are now open for Global Health MSc, the latest addition to the University’s growing portfolio of fully online postgraduate degrees. Developed in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and Health, the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Digital Education Service, the programme combines world-leading expertise in global public health, policy, and digital learning.
Learning from the world’s experts
The course brings together expert insights from the School of Politics and International Studies and the Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development to explore how health, policy, and global systems interact in shaping critical global issues.
Students can choose to study for a Masters or a Postgraduate Certificate, gaining access to insights from leading organisations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and opportunities to connect with global health leaders.
Now more than ever, we need fresh thinking about how to do global health better. This programme is designed to give students invaluable skills and foundational knowledge for any career associated with global health, whether that is for international organizations, NGOs, CSOs, government departments, foundations, think tanks, or community-level advocacy.
