You are provided with foundational training in the critical evaluation of research evidence, health systems strengthening, and global health policy. The programme’s extensive range of optional modules offers the opportunity to tailor the MSc to your desired areas of specialisation whether you are interested in research and evaluation, policy formulation, advocacy, or the implementation of global health programmes in resource-limited settings.This programme takes a unique cross-disciplinary approach to global health and attracts students from a range of academic and professional backgrounds.
