Global public health challenges are increasingly complex, requiring leaders who can understand and undertake rigorous research, applying it to real-world public health challenges. The DrPH in Global Health supports experienced professionals to develop the advanced skills needed to lead, influence policy, and strengthen health systems worldwide.
You combine structured training with applied research, building expertise in research methods, critical analysis and public health leadership. In Year 1 and Year 2, you undertake taught modules that strengthen your ability to evaluate evidence, design interventions and engage with policy processes, while developing a doctoral research proposal aligned to your professional interests. From Year 3, you undertake supervised research, producing a substantial thesis that addresses a significant global public health issue.
This course is designed for professionals who want to continue working while developing doctoral-level expertise. Its part-time structure allows you to apply learning directly to your professional context, creating opportunities to generate impact within your organisation and beyond. You will engage with interdisciplinary perspectives and work across research, policy and practice, preparing you to take on senior leadership roles in global public health.
By the end of the course, you will be equipped to lead evidence-informed policy, design and evaluate interventions, and drive sustainable improvements in population health at local, national and global levels.
