The MSc in Global Health
aims to prepare graduates to contribute on a broader scale
to the design, implementation, and management of health
programmes, health systems development and health policy.
The course augments traditional approaches to public and
international health by bringing together perspectives
and insights from a range of health and social sciences
in understanding and resolving the challenges of global
health. These problems may arise, for example, in relief
and development programmes in developing countries; in
conflict and post-conflict situations; with refugees,
asylum seekers and economic migrants; with tourists and
business travellers. All countries give rise to inequities
in health, wealth, education and human rights, and the
interconnectedness of these issues will be a major theme
running throughout the course.
The course also lays emphasis on ‘local' experiences
that resonates globally in the case of Ireland. These
include the influence of poverty and rapid social change
on health and identity in Ireland; migration and refugee
welfare, the consequences of ethnic conflict, the peace
process and the challenges of reconciliation for creating
inclusive health services. The strongest emphasis within
the course is on health in developing countries and the
impact of globalisation.

This programme is intended for
individuals from a wide range of disciplines and professions
who wish to develop an understanding of health issues that
integrate health and social science perspectives in a global
context. |
| Requirements |

Applicants should be graduates
of a health or social science discipline and/or have relevant
equivalent experience. In addition, applicants must have
a demonstrated interest and/or experience in global health
or health issues in developing countries. Applicants will
need to hold: (1) at least a 2.1 honors degree from an Irish
university or equivalent result from a university in another

| Structure |
|
The programme runs over a ten-month
period (October to July) and is divided into three terms.
Lectures for Term 1 commence in October and consist of 5
core compulsory modules. These core modules are designed
to increase understanding of health determinants, health
system organisation, health policy and financing, influence
of globalisation on health outcomes, and dynamics of health
care in the north and south. In Term 2, students will be
required to take one compulsory supplementary module and
a minimum of three optional modules, which may reflect the
diversity of their academic, research and career interests.
In Term 3, students are expected to undertake and complete
a programme of research leading to the writing and submission
of a thesis. The research project will require submission
of a 15,000 word thesis by the last day of July. |
