The MSc programmes offered by the Centre for International Public Health
Policy offer a unique focus on public health policy in the context of
widening health inequalities.<br><br>
The programmes provide students with an understanding of the significance
for public health policy of global developments such as the global
financial crisis, declining foreign aid expenditures, and the free trade
and economic growth policies promoted by governments and international
organisations.<br><br>
They equip them with the skills and knowledge to conduct public health
research and advocacy in this changing context. Great importance is
placed on research methods and analytic techniques for practical
application or for further research.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
They provide for specialisation in policy areas relevant to both UK and
international interests.<br><br>
The programmes take one year full-time, or up to five years through
part-time study.<br><br>
