International and global approaches to public health have become significant with more emphasis being placed on health and wellbeing inequalities between different countries due to disparate wealth and development. 

Global health has important implications for global security. For example threatening social and economic development and generating significant challenges around migration, the global transmission of disease, health and illness and the inter-connectivity.

Health studies now proceed beyond simple local and national dimensions and people across the world and require global solutions.

Our programme will provide students with a rich and varied learning environment in which to explore public health ideas relevant to a global audience.
