Make equity in health a reality

The Master of Global Health is a multidisciplinary programme that will allow you to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills and capacities you need to tackle the current global health challenges.

By the end of the programme you will be able to:

Analyse the factors that affect the health of the global population, with emphasis on the most vulnerable groups

— Evaluate the complex relationship between health and other areas, such as economics, politics, anthropology, social, and environmental sciences

Design effective and sustainable solutions to address health equity in a globalised world

“Global health isn’t only for doctors, nurses or people working in the health sector. Its multisectorial component creates a demand for various expertise, where everybody can get involved. As a global health advocate, you need to be open enough to listen to different people and perspectives in order to establish better health and planetary solutions”

Maureen Chileshe, medical doctor, Zambia, MGH 2022

“This Master really gave me the tools that I needed to have a better understanding of the Global Health world, to gain the skills that I needed, and also to meet the people that would empower me to carry on in my journey”

Amina Bouothmani , pharmacist, Tunisia, MGH 2022
