Master's Programme Award for MSc Global Health (360G-Wellcome-213397_Z_18_Z)

In an increasingly interdependent world, complex health problems require solutions that transcend geographic boundaries and draw on international and multidisciplinary collaboration to develop innovative responses. The MSc in Global Health within the School of Social Science at Southampton University is a multi-disciplinary programme designed to equip students with the necessary skills to understand and respond to global health challenges. Taught by research-active academic experts from multidisciplinary backgrounds, it includes core modules which provide students with a comprehensive understanding of key issues and concepts in transnational health. In addition the course has a strong quantitative component, which provides students with a robust understanding of statistical and epidemiological methods. A further feature is that students are able to choose from a range of optional modules offered by the Schools of Social Science (which includes social statistics, demography and gerontology), Geography and Law, as well as the Faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences in order to tailor their programme to meet their specific needs and interest. While not exclusively designed for those planning a research career, a significant proportion of former students have successfully chosen or continued on this path and currently work for academic institutions or research departments within governmental bodies.
