Global Health and Development MSc

UCL (University College London)

In a world facing geopolitical challenges and unprecedented environmental, social, and health system pressures, the Global Health and Development MSc provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the crucial subject of global health. The course will equip you to become a future global health leader, improving health and wellbeing worldwide, with a focus on equity and social justice. This MSc draws together research and evidence from across numerous disciplines, to provide students with the skills required to approach and tackle health equity and inequalities globally. You will benefit from research-driven teaching, delivered by world-leading academics with extensive global networks and partnerships. The health challenges and solutions in populations are nearly always complex. To address these, you will be taught a range of global and public health disciplines including epidemiology, social sciences, health systems, as well as designing, implementing and evaluating health programmes. You will learn advanced skills and approaches to innovate effective, equitable and sustainable solutions and to work collaboratively with a range of key stakeholders, from affected communities and populations to policymakers. We offer a wide range of optional modules so you can tailor your degree to match your professional aspirations. You will graduate with the necessary skills and training to use evidence-based approaches, and apply them to real world health challenges and inequalities, with a particular emphasis on low resource settings and marginalised populations. Graduates of this course include students from more than 70 countries and from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds including medical doctors, nurses, health researchers, government employees, health activists and non-governmental organisation workers. This increases opportunities for you to learn from the skills and experiences of your course mates. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
