The MSc programmes offered by the Centre for International Public Health
Policy offer a unique focus on public health policy in the context of widening
health inequalities.
The programmes provide students with an understanding of the significance for
public health policy of global developments such as the global financial crisis,
declining foreign aid expenditures, and the free trade and economic growth
policies promoted by governments and international organisations.
They equip them with the skills and knowledge to conduct public health
research and advocacy in this changing 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, or up to five years through part-time
study.
