    MSc Programs in Global Health

    A Master of Science graduate degree is often completed by individuals who have already earned a bachelor’s degree in a related field. With full-time study, the program may be completed within about two years. These graduate-level programs are often found around the world.

    What is an MSc in Global Health? Prospective students should carefully research their options when choosing a school for this degree, as many institutions offer vastly different focuses. For example, one MSc in Global Health program may focus on the complex relations between healthcare, international business and politics while another school could devote its attention to public health challenges in low-income countries, disease prevention and control, and immunization challenges on a global scale. Specific classes may include epidemiology, population studies, health and sustainable development, family planning programs, medical anthropology, and population dynamics.

    While working toward a master’s degree, many scholars develop improved time-management skills and the ability to prioritize projects. Other beneficial skills may also be honed, including improved dietary and health habits. These skills may be helpful in the individual’s personal and career lives.

    The opportunities to participate in a master’s degree program can be found worldwide. Prospective students should carefully review their options, speaking directly with schools to obtain information about tuition and housing costs.

    Graduates may have improved access to a variety of careers. Some of their options may include HIV/AIDS senior researcher, global infectious disease analyst and international NGO aid worker. Opportunities are available as in-country field consultant, disaster relief support technician, organization development specialist and program evaluator. The possibilities continue with career positions such as global health portfolio lead, public health analyst, epidemiology and global health analyst, global health advocate, and antimicrobial resistance research consultant. These positions are often located all over the world and many offer work-related travel.
