What will I learn?

Ageing populations, shifting fertility rates, migration, growing inequalities - these are the demographic forces driving today’s global headlines. Population dynamics affect every aspect of our world, from political stability and climate impact to economies, health, and family life. As the data landscape continues to evolve, new avenues for digital demographic research are emerging. Expert demographers are crucial for generating the population insights that shape global trends and for driving innovation in demographic data science with tangible, real-world benefits.Join our online MSc Demography and Health to study population dynamics and their interaction with global health. This is an intensive online programme that can be taken either full time (one year) or built to work alongside your employment part-time over two years. You’ll learn to analyse processes that govern and interact with population change, including reproductive behaviour and social relationships, exposure to health risks, economic growth, and climate change.
