Global and international health MSc programmes at Queen Mary, University of London
www.blizard.qmul.ac.uk/study
The Centre for Primary Care and Public Health is launching a suite of new MSc programmes 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, these 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. Through the knowledge and analytic skills they have gained, students will enhance their ability to plan and develop services and advocate for them, and increase their effectiveness as change agents delivering health care and public services.
Topics include
• Health inequalities and social determinants of health
• Globalisation and health care reform
• Primary health care: theory and practice
• Intellectual property, medicines, and health care
• Migration, culture, and health
• Globalisation and contemporary medical ethics
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. Teaching will be across Queen Mary by academics who are leaders in their field – in public health, primary care, law, sociology, geography, migration studies, economics, management, and social policy – and influential in policy developments.
Based in Whitechapel in the heart of London’s East End, staff share a commitment to reducing health inequalities and promoting universal health care in and beyond the UK. 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 environment.
