Global Health and Management MSc

Understanding patterns in health and what affects it is fundamental to the improvement of public health, prevention of disease and learning across communities to improve health outcomes. On a global scale this is a truly fascinating subject area which is further compounded by regional, cultural, political, societal and many other variants which determine diseases and outcomes. At the core of understanding all of this information are some well established research skills across all aspects to understand the detail about situations, patterns of disease, outcomes, improvements and so on. Studying this discipline at Aberdeen gives you access to the range of challenges you face when researching global health in order to manage it effectively with the resources you have. The university is ideally situated to give you access to one of the largest teaching campuses in Europe, a well established and prize winning health economics research area, and an outstanding School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition at the forefront of innovative research and new ways to treat health challenges. The University has contributed to this innovation itself with the development of insulin in 1923 which won a Nobel Peace Prize, the fight against hunger and disease which also won a Nobel Peace Prize and the development of sophisticated imaging technology such as the MRI scanner.
