Study Details: MSc one year full-time; half-time or split-study over two years
Fertility, ageing communities, migration, rising inequalities – the headlines are dominated by these pressing global population challenges. Population trends impact everything from geopolitical stability, to carbon emissions, from labour markets to sexual health and from family relationships and care to economic growth. The world of data is also changing, opening new fields of digital demographic enquiry. Trained demographers are essential to providing population projections and analysis underpinning critical global trends and to expand the boundaries of demographic data science for real-world impact.
Join our MSc Demography and Health to study population dynamics and their interaction with global health. Over one year (full time) or two years (part time or split study), you’ll learn to analyse processes that govern population change, including reproductive behaviour and social relationships, exposure to health risks, economic growth, population policies and climate change. You will study in a research-oriented environment, taught by staff conducting important work on health, mortality, fertility and migration and working in partnership with teams across the globe to advance demographic science.
