Summary

Why should I study Global Health? With global health inequalities at an all-time high, and issues like population growth and climate change intensifying the situation, it's clear that as an international community, we need to take action.

Specialising in global health will set you up to step up and lead, providing essential technical support, addressing the social determinants of health and decreasing the shared burden of global disease.

Boosting your skills in this critical field will give you the tools to change lives and help tackle some of the biggest challenges faced by humanity.

What will I get out of it? This programme centres around five global health priorities, identified in close consultation with employers, experts and global health agencies:

  • Addressing global health inequalities through workforce development

  • Leadership in health systems improvements

  • Facilitating universal health coverage

  • Promoting gender equity

  • Creating meaningful partnerships for global health

The MSc in Global Health will equip you with the competencies and key analytical, technical and practical skills that global health organisations need, and provide you with relevant and up-to-date knowledge to directly support ongoing global health efforts in a range of settings.

Is Global Health for me? This part-time, online programme is designed to fit with a busy working life. It enables you to integrate your job and your studies, applying new knowledge from day one. Whether you want to apply for the full MSc, the diploma or the certificate, there's an option for you – and you can always build up to the MSc at a later date.

If you're interested in finding solutions to complex global health challenges and want to tackle global health inequality, you're in the right place. This programme will help you build the professional toolkit you need to achieve your ambitions and make a difference.

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine

Liverpool School Of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) was founded on the 12th November 1898 by Sir Alfred Lewis Jones, an influential shipping magnate. At this time Liverpool was a prominent port city and enjoyed extensive trade with overseas regions such as West and Southern Africa. This led to a high number of patients in the region being admitted to hospital with ‘tropical’ diseases, and so Sir Alfred Jones donated £350 to set up a School of Tropical Medicine to investigate these outbreaks. 115 years later LSTM was awarded higher education institution status in 2013.
