These courses aim to provide students with an in-depth understanding of health determinants and outcomes that transcend national boundaries, and the policy responses required to protect and promote population health in a globalising world. The courses combine core modules on the economics and politics of global health (including such topics as global health diplomacy, trade and health and migration), global environmental change, and key issues in global health policy (such as access to medicines, virus sharing and tobacco control).
