The programme provides the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge which are transferable for applications for careers working with global communities both nationally and internationally.
On this 1-year full-time or 2-years part-time course, you study a range of modules based on relevant theoretical topics and practical experiences. Mandatory level 7 modules include: Defining Concepts, Determinants of Health, Project Planning for Sustainable Global Health, Research and Evaluation in Global Health, and a Dissertation.
As you progress through the course, programme content moves from the broad issues of global health to become more focused on a topic that you have chosen to explore in depth through project planning and fieldwork. Assessment is through written assignments on module topics, and a final semester/year project dissertation.
Your learning takes place online through a combination of lectures and seminars, small group work, and guided independent study. You will have a supervisor/tutor to support you with your studies and you are encouraged to continue to gain practical experience of global health either in the UK or abroad.
You are likely to be a professional practitioner in health care, social care and wellbeing currently in employment related to global health project work or engaged as a volunteer in this area. You will be encouraged (although you are not required) to keep up these arrangements as far as possible during your studies.
Where students do not already have their own connections, we would seek to explore any opportunities (optional) there may be to work with contacts of the University’s Centre for Global Health.
Our An Introduction to Global Health Short Course is an online course that has been created to give an introduction to health in the global context, with 5-10 hours of online, self-paced study. It outlines ways to achieve a sustainable world and good health for all.
