The growing field of mental health needs experts who can create sustainable strategies, address the treatment gap and actively lead positive change in mental health treatment for a global market. At the University of Glasgow, our Global Mental Health programme will prepare you to fill these needs. Online learning at the University of Glasgow allows you to experience the outstanding education we are known for without the need for relocation.

WHY THIS PROGRAMME

Contributors to the Global Mental Health Masters course come from a diverse range of disciplines including clinical psychology, social work, anthropology, sociology, law and psychiatry.

Our programme will prepare you for employment by emphasising the important role that social and cultural factors play in how mental health difficulties can be understood and treated across the globe. This programme is designed to produce passionate graduates who can take charge of mental health service provision at a global level.

Focusing on the impact which social and cultural factors have on the awareness and treatment of mental health service provision, this programme matches goals set by the United Nations and those identified by the Grand Challenges in Global Mental Health which were published in the world-leading science journal Nature (2011)

This online programme offers a choice of pathways in health promotion or our general pathway. These options are designed for you to tailor your studies to your unique experiences and provide the skills needed to support career development in this field.

CAREER PROSPECTS

This programme is designed for career professionals or recent graduates hoping to lead international mental health services. Whether you're looking for a position in government, an international agency or an NGO, we will empower you to forge your own mental health policies, strategies and services.

Graduates of our Global Mental Health programme establish careers in national mental health policy and planning, epidemiological and mental health services research, as well as advisory and advocacy roles in governments, international agencies and non-governmental organisations. Current students work as doctors, dentists, nurses, psychotherapists and managers.
