Study Details: MSc 3 yrs, PGDip 2 yrs, PGCert 1 yr (part-time)
Our part-time online MSc Global Health course has been developed in collaboration with the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
Aimed at both those new to the humanitarian sector and professionals who want to update their skills, our course offers a practical means of study and an inclusive approach which mirrors the reality of interventions within a humanitarian context.
You will explore issues related to the worldwide improvement of health, the reduction of disparities, and protection against global threats that disregard national borders.
The course is unique in bringing together the study of emergency medicine, disaster management, community health, anthropology and sociology of health and illness in an online format.
We require a Lower Second Class Bachelor’s degree or the overseas equivalent, although each application is judged on its own merits and exceptions to this entry requirement may be made.
Applicants who do not have a Bachelor’s degree or the overseas equivalent may apply if they can demonstrate (via a personal statement) that they can communicate clearly, are highly motivated, and have experience of prior learning.
