Global Public Health and Policy MSc

This MSc programme will be of particular interest if you are a medical and clinical practitioner, a civil servant, a public health practitioner, a social or political scientist, a lab scientist, or work for an NGO. You will focus on the social determinants of health; the interface between politics and policy; a concern for social justice; and primary care acting as a platform for effective public health action. This will lead you towards multidisciplinary analysis that includes sociology, anthropology, economics, law, geography as well as public health medicine.

Queen Mary University of London's Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry is comprised of two renowned and prestigious teaching hospitals: St Bartholomew’s and The Royal London. Both continue to make an outstanding contribution to modern medicine and together have been consistently ranked among the top five institutions in the UK for medicine.
