Master of Science in International Health

Program Overview

Our course is an ideal introduction to international health if you're interested in the sector, but have limited experience. It is designed to develop your understanding of international health issues, systems, programmes and policies to prepare you for a rewarding career in international health. You’ll develop your knowledge and skills to help achieve international development goals and reduce the burden of diseases borne by vulnerable populations.

This course also has a strong emphasis on research methods training, which is an essential grounding if you intend to pursue further postgraduate research (PhD), or intend to work within international health policy, systems or programmes. For aspiring research students without strong training in methods, the MSc should be considered an essential preparatory year prior to beginning a PhD.

This course is also offered as an intercalated MSc course for MBChB medicine degree students, designed to provide a solid grounding in understanding the international health system, policy and service delivery. This will enhance your international/public health knowledge in preparation for your career in medicine in resource-limited settings.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, a medical student wishing to intercalate, or a healthcare professional, you’ll become a part of our international community.
