The MSc programmes offered by the Centre for International Public Health Policy have a unique focus on public health policy in the context of widening global and domestic health inequalities. The programmes provide students with an understanding of the significance of global changes such as social and economic inequalities and the promotion of free trade and economic growth by governments and international organisations. They equip them with the skills and knowledge to conduct public health research and advocacy in the new global context.
Great importance is placed on research methods and analytic techniques for practical application or for further research. The programmes are designed to be accessible to students from diverse backgrounds including public health practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and NGO staff, and graduates in social science, science, medicine, nursing, and other related disciplines. They provide for specialisation in policy areas relevant to both UK and international interests.
The programmes take one year full-time and up to three years part-time.
