Over the last decade, global health has received dramatically increased attention, both as an emergent academic discipline and in terms of heightened policy salience.


Global health concerns have become a central component of foreign, security, and development policy and of development and human rights agendas, and have reshaped debates on the social impacts of global economic and environmental change.


This has been particularly emphasised during the Covid-19 pandemic and the growing awareness of the impacts of anthropogenic climate change.


Finding answers to key questions confronting global health policy and practice is vital. Through this programme, you will explore the issues that shape population health and build the knowledge and skills necessary to address them.


This programme explores a range of issues, including:


  • global change and its impact
  • the complex relationships between health objectives and competing policy priorities across a range of country contexts
  • health systems reform in diverse contexts


You will learn to understand, critically appraise, and apply key concepts and theories within policy studies, public health, and the wider social sciences.
