The Graduate Diploma in Global Health is designed to address the continuing education needs of professionals in global health, or health professionals who want to upskill or advance their careers. It also provides the orientation and skills necessary for those who want to launch a career focused on global health issues.
You will develop the skills necessary for professional practice in global health, gain a strong understanding of global health issues, and learn advanced disciplinary knowledge and technical capacities. You’ll spark your passion and drive to improve the health of populations through solutions focused work.
Through the graduate diploma, you can continue on to study the Master of Global Health and associated dual and extension programs.
