What you'll study
Our Global Public Health MSc offers a high-quality and interactive online learning experience. It is a wide-ranging post-graduate programme that explores social, political, economic and ecological determinants of health, with a focus on health policy analysis.

The determinants of health and their consequences for health improvement and health inequalities are an essential part of the work of public health practitioners when dealing with health issues at the population level. Governments, researchers, and the public are increasingly aware of health inequity and the need for health systems to provide and promote health for all.

This MSc programme will appeal to anyone with an interest in the health and wellbeing of societies within and across countries. It has direct relevance to anyone working in a health or policy setting, and to anyone with a general interest in the social and political sciences.
