The MSc Health and International Development programme explores the key issues and inter-relationships that exist between public health, global politics, and international development. Coronavirus [COVID-19] lays bare these interconnections and dependencies. Many of the challenges faced by international development policy makers are related to public health issues, and this programme will provide you with the skills needed to address and overcome these challenges.
The MSc Health and International Development will help you to understand the complex relationships between health and poverty/inequality in and across low and middle income countries. You will also evaluate multi-disciplinary evidence on a range of global health issues and interventions and apply this evidence to policy analysis. Our teachers routinely update the content of their courses to reflect contemporary and emerging health and development issues such as COVID-19 and the movement to decolonise global health. The experience you gain from this programme will enable you to understand how health, poverty and inequality interact. A compulsory Research Design course will equip you with the practical and theoretical principles of research design.
Upper second class honours (2:1) degree or equivalent in any discipline.
