The Global Health MSc is a pioneering set of programmes that brings together students from a range of disciplines to understand and analyse significant health challenges. The course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to critically reflect on health and healthcare across the world and the opportunity to apply this knowledge through an extended piece of research work at the end of the course. Applications from students on an undergraduate Medical or Dental programme looking to intercalate are welcome.
