About Global Health, MSc - at Trinity College Dublin
The Centre aims to develop expertise at a post-graduate level to prepare graduates to contribute on a broader scale to the design, implementation and evaluation of health programmes. Health professionals experience of working in developing countries is frequently characterised by being given responsibility for health programmes only to realise that nothing in their training has prepared them for managing such programmes and the inevitable difficulties created by poor infrastructure, poor communications and a lack of resources.
In order to build capacity in this area the Faculty has developed a Masters in Global Health. The first intake was October 2005. This Masters programme augments traditional approaches to international health by bringing together perspectives and insights from a range of health and social sciences. It will be of interest to practitioners, policy makers, planners, managers, analysts and researchers, who wish to understand the broader and interconnecting causes of many health problems. A range of optional modules will be provided through collaborations with:
- Masters in Health Services Management, TCD
- Masters in Ethnic & Racial Studies, TCD
- Masters in International Peace Studies, TCD
- Development Co-operation Ireland.
