COURSE STRUCTURE
Our interactive, student-centred approach equips you with solid knowledge in the field of Global Health by bringing together theory and practice. The degree can be completed full-time in 1 year, or part-time over 2 years.
Our block scheduling allows you to focus on one module at a time allowing you to engage with the subject with reduced distraction. It also supports a better life-study balance, enabling you to better schedule other responsibilities such as work and family if needed.
In-person delivery maximises opportunities for learning using our popular interactive classroom sessions. This is augmented with online delivery when necessary, building on the very positive feedback from students who enjoyed online teaching delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our approach supports students in developing independent learning skills as well as transferable skills such as critical appraisal, communication, presentation skills, planning, problem-solving and teamwork, among others.
