Global Public Health Leadership MPH or PGDip or PGCert

Overview

How do we get communities to identify what they need? How do we empower groups and populations to support and promote good health from within? Is there a better way to advocate for society’s most vulnerable and underserved?

On our Global Public Health Leadership MPH, you’ll explore global questions in rigorous detail. You’ll look at ways to build leadership in different settings and discover innovative ways to promote better health in the community.
