MSc Global Health and Humanities

As the world becomes increasingly globalised, differences in attitudes and approaches to health and illness amongst different communities are becoming even more important. Acknowledging that there is a vastness of cultural, political, social or economic contexts and influences at play within individuals and communities is a poignant humanistic endeavour for global health practitioners when attempting to understand and respond to suffering around the world.If you are looking to make a real difference in the pursuit of health equity and global justice, our stimulating suite of MScs in Global Health will help you better understand global health issues, policy and practices in the 21st century. Reflecting contemporary concerns and areas of research excellence at St George's, we offer five specialist pathways in Global Health -- in Conflict, Humanities, Mental Health, Ethics and Law, and Infection and Immunity -- as well as the broad-based general degree.Highly practical in nature, drawing on experiences of our own faculty and the many practitioners we have links with, these courses will be of particular interest to those who already work or wish to pursue an internationally focused career in development, policy, education, research or humanitarian relief. This includes policymakers, doctors, other health professionals and anyone with a strong interest in governance, management, law, politics, economics, policy, science, anthropology, philosophy and ethics.
