Global Health Policy

Course Overview

Offered by The University of Edinburgh, the MSc Global Health Policy provides a comprehensive postgraduate education in social sciences. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 1-year full-time structure. Over the last decade, global health has received dramatically increased attention, both as an emergent academic discipline and in terms of heightened policy salience. Global health concerns have become a central component of foreign, security, and development policy and of development and human rights agendas, and have reshaped debates on the social impacts of global economic and environmental change. This has been particularly emphasised during the Covid-19 pandemic and the growing awareness of the impacts of anthropogenic climate change. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 83% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £32,000 within three years, a 89% continuation rate, and 85% of graduates in employment or further study.
