MSc Tropical and Infectious Diseases

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine

This MSc will enhance your clinical competence and develop your management and leadership skills. It will support you to thrive in complex clinical scenarios, drive quality improvement and ease the burden of infectious and non-communicable diseases in communities with limited resources. During this one-year course, you will cultivate a critical awareness of global health priorities and a well-rounded grasp of relevant research and ethical considerations. In parallel, you will build an advanced professional toolkit that enables you to contribute to the improvement of health systems across the world, creating change where it is needed most.

You will consider vulnerable groups in society and examine the medical problems faced in low- and middle-income countries, to build a comprehensive understanding of influencing factors and barriers. We will support you to choose modules that complement your professional interests and ambitions, and you will have the opportunity to develop these with an extended project at the end of the course. You will be encouraged to travel abroad for this, to get first-hand experience of the issues, and to begin implementing your enhanced skillset straight away.
