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.
