Master of Development and Global Health - MA

The Global Development and Health Program will allow you to integrate established health and development strategies to address the current problems of global political development. Global health problems seek solutions that go beyond established public health responses. This program will help you to consider the most comprehensive solutions to the long-term needs of local communities. You will find a solid foundation in geographical and behavioral thinking, and you will look at the issues of global health geography. You will be challenged to explore the connection between the questions of development and global health, using the fundamental method of geographical representation to question the established beliefs, norms and policies. There will be opportunities to learn about new approaches to global public health and project management through a variety of selection modules.
