This course suits national and international students from a number of health related disciplines; it is aimed at students involved in promoting global health in some capacity, whether this is at a strategic national level, for e.g. contributing to the development of global health policy; at a strategic local level, for ex.g. being responsible for plans to strengthen a local system of health care; or working at the interface of delivering a health initiative to a community, for e.g. as a project worker, or health professional; this programme aims at having a positive influence on global health by producing practitioners capable of acting as change agents in strengthening fragile health systems and reducing health inequalities in low/medium income countries.
