PG Cert in Global Health Policy
The Postgraduate Certificate situates health, health inequalities and health policy in a global context, examining the extent to which health and its determinants are shaped by social, economic and political processes and the impacts on health policy of multiple actors.
The programme takes a multidisciplinary approach to examining global health policy, and will appeal to students from both health and social science backgrounds. It has relevance for those interested in pursuing or developing a career in a health-related agency, public sector or non-governmental organisation.

The Certificate will provide you with:
- Analytical and conceptual skills in health policy analysis
- A critical understanding of health and its determinants from a population-based perspective
- Critical awareness of role of state, commercial sector, civil society and international organisations in health policy and global governance
- Understanding of the challenges confronting policy makers in addressing health and reducing health inequalities.
