PHA-Exch> MSc programmes, international public health policy

[James Lancaster]

MSc in global health and public policy
MSc in health inequalities and public policy
MSc in health systems and public policy
MSc in global health and anthropology

The MSc programmes offered by CIPHP for 2008-09 
have a unique focus on public health policy in 
the context of widening global and domestic health inequalities.

The programmes provide students with an 
understanding of the significance of global 
changes such as social and economic inequalities 
and the promotion of free trade and economic 
growth by governments and international 
organisations. They equip them with the skills 
and knowledge to conduct public health research 
and advocacy in the new global context.

Great importance is placed on research methods 
and analytic techniques for practical application 
or for further research. The programmes are 
designed to be accessible to students from 
diverse backgrounds – including public health 
practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and 
NGO staff, and graduates in social science, 
science, medicine, nursing, and other related 
disciplines. They provide for specialisation in 
policy areas relevant to both UK and international interests.

The programmes take one year full-time and up to 
three years part-time. Possibilities exist for distance and modular learning.
