Course summary
MSc Global Health at Manchester has been developed in collaboration with the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). Aimed at both those new to the humanitarian sector and professionals who want to update their skills, our course offers a practical means of study and an inclusive approach which mirrors the reality of interventions within a humanitarian context. You will explore issues related to the worldwide improvement of health, the reduction of disparities, protection against global threats that disregard national borders, and specialise in Humanitarian Response. The course is unique in bringing together the study of emergency medicine, disaster management, community health, anthropology and sociology of health and illness in an online format. You will have access to leading multidisciplinary academics and practitioners. For example, we have a close working relationship with the charity UK-Med, which aims to improve the training and accountability of medical teams to sudden onset disasters and complex emergencies.
