Global and international health MSc programmes
www.blizard.qmul.ac.uk/study/globalhealth
The Centre for Primary Care and Public Health at Queen Mary, University of London, is launching a suite of three new MSc programmes in international and global health, due to begin in September 2012:
• MSc International Primary Health Care
• MSc Global Public Health and Policy
• MSc Health Systems and Global Policy
Underpinned by a commitment to principles of social justice and fairness, these three new MSc programmes will provide students with an understanding of the significance of the current global challenges for health care and public health and will offer a multidisciplinary focus on global public health and primary care in a time of increasing health inequalities. Students will be able to study both online and on-campus.
Queen Mary has assembled for this initiative an experienced team, led by Prof Trisha Greenhalgh and Prof Allyson Pollock, who have previously established and run successful and highly prestigious programmes both online and on campus at UCL and the University of Edinburgh. The interdisciplinary programmes will be taught by Queen Mary academics who are leaders in their field – in public health sciences, law, sociology, geography, migration studies, economics, management, social policy and clinical medicine – and influential in policy developments in the UK and internationally. They have come together to offer a multidisciplinary focus on global public health and primary care in a time of widening health inequalities.
Based in Whitechapel in the heart of London’s East End, the staff in the Centre for Primary Care and Public Health share a commitment to reducing health inequalities and promoting universal health care in and beyond the UK. The Centre is responsible for leading global health teaching in Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, the only UK medical school to include global health in the undergraduate medical curriculum.
With strong links to NHS, local authorities, and other organisations in the East End, and with a programme of international research with which students can engage, the Centre combines the local and the global in a stimulating and challenging research and teaching environment.
