Our MPH with a specialised track in the Management of Health Systems provides a thorough and in-depth examination of the establishment and evaluation of international health systems; an evaluation of the processes necessary for the management of healthcare delivery and a critical understanding of management theory.

This track also investigates the need to strengthen national, regional and international health systems by identifying the reasons of poor health delivery. Elements that influence the delivery of sufficient health systems such as weak governance, infrastructure, information systems, planning and human resources will be addressed.

The core modules cover epidemiology and qualitative research methods, including the application of appropriate study designs, their critical appraisal and the essential principles and procedures for ethical practice. You will then specialise by studying Comparative Health Systems and Advanced Management, Health and Social Policy, and Health Economics & Finance.

In addition to the subject matter knowledge you gain, you will develop additional cognitive, team, communication, research, ICT, numeracy and project planning skills that are eminently transferable within the sector. You will complete your programme with a dissertation based on your own original public health research relevant to this area of specialisation.

As an MPH student you will gain a broad and international education in the science and art of preventing disease, developing the skills required for the wide and increasing variety of opportunities in public health.
