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.
